is said:vuccati:
“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:
