“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

sīlena,
pāpikāya

Etehi

“If a person possesses these two qualities— bad conduct and bad views— when their body breaks up, that witless person is reborn in hell.”
