Nirayasutta  Hell

“Pañcahi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato yathābhataṁ nikkhitto evaṁ niraye.  “Mendicants, someone with five qualities is cast down to hell.
Katamehi pañcahi?  What five?
Pāṇātipātī hoti, adinnādāyī hoti, kāmesumicchācārī hoti, musāvādī hoti, surāmerayamajjapamādaṭṭhāyī hoti.  They kill living creatures, steal, commit sexual misconduct, lie, and consume beer, wine, and liquor intoxicants.
Imehi kho, bhikkhave, pañcahi dhammehi samannāgato yathābhataṁ nikkhitto evaṁ niraye.  Someone with these five qualities is cast down to hell.

Pañcahi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato yathābhataṁ nikkhitto evaṁ sagge.  Someone with five qualities is raised up to heaven
Katamehi pañcahi?  What five?
Pāṇātipātā paṭivirato hoti, adinnādānā paṭivirato hoti, kāmesumicchācārā paṭivirato hoti, musāvādā paṭivirato hoti, surāmerayamajjapamādaṭṭhānā paṭivirato hoti.  They don’t kill living creatures, steal, commit sexual misconduct, lie, or consume beer, wine, and liquor intoxicants.

Pañcamaṁ.
