Asibandhakaputta Sutta

v.l. Pacchābhūmaka Sutta.– Once, when the Buddha was at the Pāvārikambavana (Pāvārika’s mango grove), Asibandhakaputta visited him and asks if he claims to be able to send men to heaven as do the Pacchābhūmaka brahmins.

The Buddha explains to him that a man’s destiny depends on the life he leads; no one else can send him to heaven or to a place of suffering. S.iv.311 f.
