Āpāyikasutta
Vuttañhetaṁ bhagavatā vuttamarahatāti me sutaṁ:This was said by the Blessed One, said by the Arahant, so I have heard:
“Dveme, bhikkhave, āpāyikā nerayikā idamappahāya.“Monks, these two are doomed to deprivation, to hell, for not abandoning their conduct. Katame dve?Which two? Yo ca abrahmacārī brahmacāripaṭiñño, yo ca paripuṇṇaṁ parisuddhaṁ brahmacariyaṁ carantaṁ amūlakena abrahmacariyena anuddhaṁseti.One who, not living the celibate life, pretends to be one who lives the celibate life; and one who groundlessly accuses one who lives the celibate life perfectly & purely of uncelibate behavior. Ime kho, bhikkhave, dve āpāyikā nerayikā idamappahāyā”ti.These are the two who are doomed to deprivation, to hell, for not abandoning their conduct.”
Etamatthaṁ bhagavā avoca. Tatthetaṁ iti vuccati:
“Abhūtavādī nirayaṁ upeti, yo vāpi katvā na karomi cāha;He goes to hell, the one who asserts what didn’t take place, as does the one who, having done, says, ‘I didn’t.’ Ubhopi te pecca samā bhavanti, nihīnakammā manujā parattha.Both–low-acting people– there become equal: after death, in the world beyond.
Kāsāvakaṇṭhā bahavo, pāpadhammā asaññatā;An ochre robe tied ’round their necks, many with evil qualities –unrestrained, evil– Pāpā pāpehi kammehi, nirayaṁ te upapajjare.rearise, because of their evil acts, in hell.
Seyyo ayoguḷo bhutto, tatto aggisikhūpamo;Better to eat an iron ball –glowing, aflame– Yañce bhuñjeyya dussīlo, raṭṭhapiṇḍamasaññato”ti.than that, unprincipled & unrestrained, you should eat the alms of the country.
