Then the householder Uggata of Elephant Village went up to the Buddha, sat down to one side, and said to him:

“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 not fully extinguished in this very life?
