Nirayasutta Hell
“Catūhi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato yathābhataṁ nikkhitto evaṁ niraye. “Mendicants, someone with four qualities is cast down to hell.
Katamehi catūhi? What four?
Pāṇātipātī hoti, adinnādāyī hoti, kāmesumicchācārī hoti, musāvādī hoti—They kill living creatures, steal, commit sexual misconduct, and lie.
imehi kho, bhikkhave, catūhi dhammehi samannāgato yathābhataṁ nikkhitto evaṁ nirayeti. Someone with these four qualities is cast down to hell.
Pāṇātipāto adinnādānaṁ, Killing, stealing,
Musāvādo ca vuccati; telling lies,
Paradāragamanañcāpi, and visiting others’ wives:
Nappasaṁsanti paṇḍitā”ti. astute people don’t praise these things.”
Catutthaṁ.
