At NāḷandāNāḷandasutta
At one time the Buddha was staying near Nāḷandā in Pāvārika’s Mango Grove.Ekaṁ samayaṁ bhagavā nāḷandāyaṁ viharati pāvārikambavane.
Then the householder Upāli went up to the Buddha … and asked him,Atha kho, upāli gahapati, yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami …pe… ekamantaṁ nisinno kho, upāli gahapati, bhagavantaṁ etadavoca: “What is the cause, sir, what is the reason why some sentient beings are not fully extinguished in this very life?“ko nu kho, bhante, hetu, ko paccayo yena m’idhekacce sattā diṭṭheva dhamme no parinibbāyanti? What is the cause, sir, what is the reason why some sentient beings are fully extinguished in this very life?” …Ko pana, bhante, hetu, ko paccayo yena m’idhekacce sattā diṭṭheva dhamme parinibbāyantī”ti?
