211. “Bhikkhus, endowed with ten things as though led and lain is in hell. What ten?

Here bhikkhus a certain one destroys living things, is cruel with bloody hands, without compassion is engaged in destroying living things .

Takes the not given, gone to the village or forest, takes others’ belongings with a thievish mind.

Misbehaves sexually with those protected by mother, father, mother and father, brother, sister, relations, the clan, the Teaching, or with one who has a spouse and is liable to be punished or even with one garlanded at a ceremony.

Tells lies in an assembly, in a gathering, in the midst of relations, in the guild, in the presence of royality. When asked to stand witness, not knowing says I know. Knowing says I do not know. Not seeing says I saw and seeing says I did not see. Thus he tells lies for a personal reason, for another’s good or for some small material gain.

Slanders. Hearing something here, tells it there, to split these. Hearing something there tells it here, to split those. Thus he splits the united. Puts apart the already split. Fond of disunity talks words to disunite.

Talks roughly, speaking insolent rough words that pierce others, words that curse and not conducive to concentration.

Talks frivolously, out of time, unrighteous words that are useless and not in accordance with the Teaching and the Discipline. Talks words that do not incite, need no treasuring, without a limit.

Is coveting and covets others belongings, thinks may they be mine!

Is with an angry mind and defiled thoughts thinking, may these beings be destroyed. May they be broken apart and may they not be!

Is with wrong view, with a reversed vision: There is no good in giving gifts, doing a sacrifice, making an offering. There are no results for good and evil actions. There is no this world, no other world, no mother, no father, there are no beings spontaneously arisen, No recluses and Brahmins who having realized this world and the other world, declare it to the world. Bhikkhus, endowed with these ten things one is in hell as though led and lain there.
