Cūḷa Kammavibhaṅgasutta untranslated

Cūḷa Kammavibhaṅgasutta, Cūla Kammavibhaṅgasutta. Subha Todeyyaputta visits the Buddha at Jetavana and asks him why, among mankind, some are high and some low, some long-lived and some short, some handsome and some plain, some rich and some poor, etc. It is the result of their heritage from the past, answers the Buddha; their deeds are their possessions, their parents, their kindred and their refuge; he then proceeds to explain in detail (MN.iii.202ff). Subha acknowledges the Buddha as his teacher.

The Commentary (MN­a.ii.962) calls this the Subhasutta. For details of the circumstances in which the Sutta was preached see Subha Todeyyaputta.
