 Thus, in some translations the "bhavissati" is literally translated as the future tense, so that the question posed by Dona pertains to what Buddha will be/become, asking whether he will be/become a god, a gandharva, a yaksha or a human.The Buddha answers these questions literally, saying that he will not be/become ("na bhavissāmi") any of these beings [in the future], implying that since he is a Buddha he will not be reborn after this life.The Chinese translation at "T II 467b8" follows this reasoning, and literally reads "I will not obtain human".
