1"Here, bhikkhus, having encompassed a mentally corrupted person's mind with my own mind, I understand that if this person were to die at this time, he would be deposited in hell as if brought there. [n.40] Yathābhataṁ nikkhitto. I translate this idiom on the basis of Mp's gloss: yathā āharitvā ṭhapito. For what reason? Because his mind is corrupted. [n.41] Mp: "A mind corrupted by hate" (dosena paduṭṭhacittaṁ). This sutta and the following might be seen as prose elaborations of Dhp1 and 2 although those verses use mano rather than citta, the adjectives are the same: paduṭṭha and pasanna. It is because of mental corruption that with the breakup of the body, after death, some beings here are reborn in the plane of misery, in a bad destination, in the lower world, in hell."

1"Idhāhaṁ, bhikkhave, ekaccaṁ puggalaṁ paduṭṭhacittaṁ evaṁ cetasā ceto paricca pajānāmi: ‘imamhi ce ayaṁ samaye puggalo kālaṁ kareyya, yathābhataṁ nikkhitto evaṁ niraye’. Taṁ kissa hetu? Cittaṁ hissa, bhikkhave, paduṭṭhaṁ. Cetopadosahetu pana, bhikkhave, evamidhekacce sattā kāyassa bhedā paraṁ maraṇā apāyaṁ duggatiṁ vinipātaṁ nirayaṁ upapajjantī"ti.

Tatiyaṁ.
