Seeing the transcendence of suffering as visible. Then again, O Bhikshu, knowing the ripening of the fruits of karma, he contemplates the abodes of the gods who hold whisks in their hands. Through the wisdom arising from hearing, he sees how the abode of the gods called 'Melodious Bees' exists. Thinking, 'Which sentient beings will be born there?' he investigates through the wisdom arising from hearing. If someone is endowed with morality and wisdom, cultivates a heart of mindfulness, a mind moistened with compassion, engages in benefiting sentient beings, and offers music and incense to stupas, then upon separating from the body, they will be reborn in the happy realm, the heavenly world, in the abode of the gods who hold whisks in their hands, in 'Melodious Bees.' Having been born there, abiding in the fruits of their own karma, they experience various kinds of happiness such as cymbals, songs, dances, laughter, playfulness, and joy. The goddesses intoxicated by the fragrance of lotuses, upon hearing songs, have their minds captivated, and they listen to the enchanting melodies. In the delightful pleasure gardens, numerous assemblies of goddesses emit the sounds of melodies. The fragrance of various mixed flowers touches their bodies, and together with those who delight in the peaks of Mount Meru adorned with various jewels, they wander and rejoice in their abodes, greatly pleased upon hearing beautiful sounds. Thus, having directly seen the fruits of well-performed actions, the Bhikshu praises virtuous actions and speaks in verses, saying: These actions are the abodes of the gods, They become the staircase to the three realms. Those who climb upon them, Go to experience happiness in the heavenly realms. Restraining the four aspects of speech, And the three arising from the body, Having climbed the seven steps, One goes to the three heavenly realms. Practicing morality is exceedingly pleasant, Enjoying wealth is not as pleasant. Wealth causes people to decline, But morality does not cause decline. It makes people good, And it is beautiful in each individual place. Therefore, going to the higher realms, Is praised as virtuous by the supreme conquerors. Those who practice virtue, Are like going to a pleasure grove. The world of the gods

应当善加奉行正法，对于已经造作的罪业也要彻底忏悔。如此，那位比丘现量见到种种安乐生起，便对蜜蜂妙音天众赞叹不已。如是，那些天众，即属于天界的众多蜜蜂发出美妙的声音。直到他所希望的、令人愉悦的业行和积累没有穷尽之前，他都能体验到声音、气味、味道和触感等特别美好的事物。之后，他将从那个天界死去。死后，如果他没有因为其他需要感受果报的业力而转生到地狱、饿鬼或畜生道中，而是与人类有缘，转生到人间，那么，由于与之前善业的因果关系，他将佩戴着美好的花环，恒常享受安乐，无有损害地安住，长寿且富裕，这些都是可以预见的。之后，比丘又了知业果成熟的道理，便观察手持拂尘天众的居所。他通过听闻而获得的智慧，看到手持拂尘天众的居所，名为“贪着声音”的地方是如何存在的。他心想：哪些众生会转生到那里呢？于是，他通过听闻而获得的智慧进行观察，发现那些持守戒律、内心高度禅定的人，如果向具有无量光辉的佛陀献上伞盖，那么他们身亡之后，便会转生到善趣高层天界，即名为“贪着声音”的天众之中。在那里转生之后，享受天界安乐的他们，在黄金、白银和琉璃等各种山脉中游荡，体验各种各样的快乐。被天女眷属围绕的他们，与眷属们一同在七宝山的山顶上游玩，并进入名为“嬉戏园林”的园林之中。他们佩戴着天界的花环，身着天衣，身上装饰着与花环、香粉和涂香一同散发出的香气，有时也会进入名为“香料园林”的园林，那里以各种树木而装饰得美轮美奂。

One should practice the Dharma well, and thoroughly repent for the sins that have been committed. Thus, that bhikkhu directly sees the arising of various kinds of happiness, and praises the gods of the melodious sound of bees without end. Thus, those gods, that is, the many bees belonging to the heavenly realm, emit melodious sounds. As long as his desired, pleasant deeds and accumulations have not been exhausted, he will experience particularly beautiful things such as sounds, smells, tastes, and tactile sensations. Afterwards, he will die from that heavenly realm. After death, if he is not born into hell, hungry ghosts, or the animal realm due to other karmas that need to be experienced, but is related to humans and is born into the human realm, then, due to the causal relationship with the previous good deeds, he will wear beautiful garlands, constantly enjoy happiness, dwell without harm, live long, and be wealthy, which can be foreseen. Afterwards, the bhikkhu, knowing the principle of the ripening of karmic results, contemplates the abode of the gods holding fly-whisks. Through the wisdom gained from hearing, he sees how the abode of the gods holding fly-whisks, called "attachment to sound," exists. He thinks: Which beings will be born there? Then, he observes through the wisdom gained from hearing, and discovers that those who uphold morality and have highly meditated minds, if they offer umbrellas to the Buddha who possesses immeasurable radiance, then after their death, they will be born into the happy realm of the higher heavens, that is, among the gods called "attachment to sound." After being born there, they enjoy the happiness of the heavenly realm, wandering in various mountains of gold, silver, and lapis lazuli, experiencing all kinds of happiness. Surrounded by retinues of goddesses, they play with their retinues on the peaks of the seven-jeweled mountains, and enter the garden called "Playful Grove." They wear heavenly garlands, wear heavenly clothes, and are adorned with the fragrance emitted together with garlands, incense powder, and unguents. Sometimes they also enter the garden called "Spice Grove," which is beautifully decorated with various trees.

如此。那园林中有河流、瀑布、水池、莲花池和树木，装饰得非常美丽。鸟类的翅膀装饰得多么美丽，光明照耀得多么美丽，如同天神的光芒一样，还有其他各种颜色的光芒，如蓝色、黄色和茜草色，那园林真是色彩鲜艳啊！在那致力于业果的园林中，各种鲜花盛开，散发出非常芬芳的香气，当这香气吹拂到树叶上时，被香气吹拂的树叶相互摩擦，发出美妙的音乐声。这种美妙的程度，甚至连阿修罗境地所使用的音乐的十六分之一都无法比拟。当香气吹拂到每一片树叶上时，也会发出非常悦耳的音乐声，这音乐声具有五种和谐的元素，令人陶醉于极其愉悦和令人向往的境界。然后，这树叶的音乐声使人沉溺于贪欲，并使无数人安住于放逸的喜悦之中。沉迷于声音，执着于声音，被声音迷惑的人，只要他们所造作和积累的令人愉悦的恶业没有耗尽，他们就会一直享受声音、气味、味道和触觉等特别美好的事物。此人之后会从天界死去，死后，如果不是因为其他需要经历的业力而生于地狱、饿鬼或畜生道，而是与人类有缘而生于人道，那么他会因为与前世的因缘相同，而特别喜欢音乐，并且会非常富有财富、粮食、房屋和妻子，寿命也很长，甚至在王宫中也会受到尊敬。然后，比丘，了知业果成熟之人，会观察手持拂尘的天神所居住的地方。他心想：在那里，哪位天神将会出生，他的名字叫什么呢？然后，他通过听闻而获得的知识进行观察，看到在天界中，天神们所居住的地方叫做“无垢喜乐”，他们是如何居住的。

So it is. In that garden, there are rivers, waterfalls, ponds, lotus ponds, and trees, adorned with great beauty. The wings of birds adorn it so beautifully, and the light shines so beautifully, like the light of the gods, and there are other lights of various colors, such as blue, yellow, and madder. That garden is truly colorful! In that garden devoted to the fruits of karma, various flowers bloom, emitting a very fragrant scent. When this scent blows onto the leaves, the leaves touched by the scent rub against each other, producing beautiful music. The beauty of this music is such that even one-sixteenth of the music used in the realm of the Asuras cannot compare. When the scent blows onto each leaf, it also produces very pleasing music, which has five harmonious elements, intoxicating one with extremely pleasant and desirable realms. Then, the music of the leaves causes one to indulge in desire and causes countless beings to dwell in the joy of carelessness. Those who are addicted to sound, attached to sound, and deluded by sound, as long as the unpleasant and desirable deeds they have done and accumulated have not been exhausted, they will continue to enjoy particularly beautiful things such as sound, smell, taste, and touch. This person will later die from the realm of the gods. After death, if they are not born in hell, as a hungry ghost, or as an animal due to other karma that needs to be experienced, but are born among humans because they have a connection with humans, then they will be particularly fond of music because of the same causes and conditions as in their previous life. They will also be very wealthy in terms of riches, grains, houses, and wives, and they will live a long life, and even be respected in the royal palace. Then, O Bhikshu, one who knows the ripening of karmic fruits, will observe the places where the gods holding fly-whisks dwell. He thinks, 'Which of the gods will be born there, and what will his name be?' Then, he observes through the knowledge gained from hearing and sees how the gods dwell in the realm of the gods called 'Immaculate Joy'.
