Aggisutta  Fire

“Pañcime, bhikkhave, ādīnavā aggismiṁ.  “Mendicants, there are these five drawbacks of a fire.
Katame pañca?  What five?
Acakkhusso, dubbaṇṇakaraṇo, dubbalakaraṇo, saṅgaṇikāpavaḍḍhano, tiracchānakathāpavattaniko hoti. 
saṅgaṇikāpavaḍḍhano → saṅgaṇikāpavaddhano (bj); saṅgaṇikārāmabandhano (mr)
It’s bad for your eyes. It’s bad for your complexion. It makes you weak. It draws in groups. And it encourages low talk.
Ime kho, bhikkhave, pañca ādīnavā aggismin”ti.  These are the five drawbacks of a fire.”

Navamaṁ.
