ข้อความต้นฉบับในหน้า

20.   ' Even though Master Kassapa says this, it still appears to me that there is neither another world, nor rebirth other than of parents, nor fruit or result of deeds well or ill - done. ' ' Have you any further evidence, Prince ? ' ' I have, Master Kassapa. ' ' What may that be like ? ' ' Take the case, Master Kassapa, of men who have taken a felon red-handed and bring him up, saying : - " My lord, we caught this felon in the act ; inflict on him what penalty you wish. " And I say : - " Well, my masters, flay this man alive, perchance we may see the soul of him passing out. " They do so, but no passing of the soul of him do we see. And in cutting out his integument, and his flesh, and his nerves, and breaking his bones and extracting the marrow thereof, still no soul of him do we see. This, Master Kassapa, is for me evidence that there is neither another world, nor rebirth other than of parents, nor fruit or result of deeds well or ill - done'
