Katame cattāro? > > There is a reincarnation where one’s own intention is effective, not > that of others. Atthi, bhikkhave, attabhāvapaṭilābho, yasmiṃ > attabhāvapaṭilābhe attasañcetanā kamati, no parasañcetanā. > > There is a **reincarnation where the intention of others is effective**, > not one’s own. Atthi, bhikkhave, attabhāvapaṭilābho, yasmiṃ > **attabhāvapaṭilābhe parasañcetanā kamati**, no attasañcetanā. > > There is a reincarnation where both one’s own and others’ intentions > are effective.
