Mahānāma the Sakyan visits the Buddha at Nigrodhārāma and confesses his worry as to where he would be reborn if he were to meet with an accident while passing through the crowded streets of Kapilavatthu! The Buddha assures him that he need not distress himself as he has for long practised faith and virtue, learning, renunciation and insight. His mind will soar aloft like a jar of ghee (sappi) or of oil (telaṃ), broken in a deep pool of water, where the fragments of the jar will sink, but the ghee and the oil will float. S.v.369-371.
