Vuttañhetaṁ bhagavatā vuttamarahatāti me sutaṁ:
This was said by the Buddha, the Perfected One: that is what I heard.
“Dvīhi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato puggalo yathābhataṁ nikkhitto evaṁ niraye. Katamehi dvīhi? Pāpakena ca sīlena, pāpikāya ca diṭṭhiyā. Imehi kho, bhikkhave, dvīhi dhammehi samannāgato puggalo yathābhataṁ nikkhitto evaṁ niraye”ti. Etamatthaṁ bhagavā avoca. Tatthetaṁ iti vuccati:
“Mendicants, an individual with two qualities is placed in hell as if delivered there. What two? Bad conduct and bad view. An individual with these two qualities is placed in hell as if delivered there.” The Buddha spoke this matter. On this it is said:
“Pāpakena ca sīlena, pāpikāya ca diṭṭhiyā; Etehi dvīhi dhammehi, yo samannāgato naro; Kāyassa bhedā duppañño, nirayaṁ sopapajjatī”ti.
“If a person possesses these two qualities— bad conduct and bad views— when their body breaks up, that witless person is reborn in hell.”
Ayampi attho vutto bhagavatā, iti me sutanti. Pañcamaṁ.
This too is a matter that was spoken by the Blessed One: that is what I heard.
