1"Bhikkhus, one who possesses four qualities is cast into hell as if brought there. What four? He destroys life, takes what is not given, engages in sexual misconduct, and speaks falsely. One who possesses these four qualities is cast into hell as if brought there."

2The destruction of life, taking what is not given,
the uttering of false speech,
and consorting with others’ wives:
the wise do not praise such deeds.

1"Catūhi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato yathābhataṁ nikkhitto evaṁ niraye. Katamehi catūhi? Pāṇātipātī hoti, adinnādāyī hoti, kāmesumicchācārī hoti, musāvādī hoti – imehi kho, bhikkhave, catūhi dhammehi samannāgato yathābhataṁ nikkhitto evaṁ nirayeti.

2Pāṇātipāto adinnādānaṁ,
Musāvādo ca vuccati;
Paradāragamanañcāpi,
Nappasaṁsanti paṇḍitā"ti.

Catutthaṁ.
