(Auto-Translation): The supreme being, the Padaparamapuggala, is the longest among beings. (This being is (1) a Maggot who is obtained through the minuscule guidance of karma, (2) a superb being achieved through vast guidance of attainments, (3) a celestial being obtained through merit and following certain guidelines, and (4) despite repeated recitations and performances, fails to attain the Maggot's merit. Among these four beings, the Padaparamapuggala is the fourth being.)
Pali is the language of the Tipiṭaka, which is the sacred canon of Theravāda Buddhism and contains much of the Buddha’s speech. Closeley related to Sanskrit, both languages are used interchangeably between religions.
