“Mendicants, when a mendicant has two qualities they live unhappily in this very life—with distress, anguish, and fever— and when the body breaks up, after death, they can expect a bad rebirth. What two? Not guarding the sense doors and eating too much. When a mendicant possesses these two qualities they live unhappily in this very life—with distress, anguish, and fever— and when the body breaks up, after death, they can expect a bad rebirth.” The Buddha spoke this matter. On this it is said:

eye“Cakkhu ear + andsotañca nose + andghānañca,
tonguejivhā bodykāyo likewisetathā mindmano;
