This was said by the Blessed One, said
by the Arahant, so I have heard: "I have seen beings who -- endowed with bodily misconduct, verbal
misconduct, & mental misconduct; who reviled noble ones, held wrong views
and undertook actions under the influence of wrong views -- at the break-up of
the body, after death, have re-appeared in the plane of deprivation, the bad
destination, the lower realms, in hell. It is not from having heard this from
other priests & contemplatives that I tell you that I have seen beings who
-- endowed with bodily misconduct, verbal misconduct, & mental misconduct;
who reviled noble ones, held wrong views and undertook actions under the
influence of wrong views -- at the break-up of the body, after death, have
re-appeared in the plane of deprivation, the bad destination, the lower realms,
in hell. It is from having known it myself, seen it myself, realized it myself
that I tell you that I have seen beings who -- endowed with bodily misconduct,
verbal misconduct, & mental misconduct; who reviled noble ones, held wrong
views and undertook actions under the influence of wrong views -- at the
break-up of the body, after death, have re-appeared in the plane of
deprivation, the bad destination, the lower realms, in hell."
With mind wrongly directed,
speaking wrong speech,
doing wrong deeds with the body:
a person here
of little learning,
a doer of evil
here in this life so short,
at the break-up of the body,
undiscerning,
reappears in hell.
