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 niraye.
Someone with these four qualities is cast down to hell.
Catūhi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato yathābhataṁ nikkhitto evaṁ sagge.
Someone with four qualities is raised up to heaven.
Katamehi catūhi?
What four?
Pāṇātipātā paṭivirato hoti, adinnādānā paṭivirato hoti, kāmesumicchācārā paṭivirato hoti, musāvādā paṭivirato hoti—

Someone with these four qualities is raised up to heaven.”
