Vuttañhetaṁ bhagavatā vuttamarahatāti me sutaṁ:
This was said by the Blessed One, said by the Awakened One, as I have heard:
“Dveme, bhikkhave, āpāyikā nerayikā idamappahāya. Katame dve? Yo ca abrahmacārī brahmacāripaṭiñño, yo ca paripuṇṇaṁ parisuddhaṁ brahmacariyaṁ carantaṁ amūlakena abrahmacariyena anuddhaṁseti. Ime kho, bhikkhave, dve āpāyikā nerayikā idamappahāyā”ti.
“There are two persons destined for a state of loss, destined for hell, if they do not abandon this. What two? One who is not celibate but pretends to be celibate, and one who falsely accuses a person genuinely living a complete and pure celibate life of unchastity. These are the two persons destined for a state of loss, destined for hell, if they do not abandon this.”
Etamatthaṁ bhagavā avoca. Tatthetaṁ iti vuccati:
The Blessed One spoke on this matter. In this regard, it is said:
“Abhūtavādī nirayaṁ upeti,
Yo vāpi katvā na karomi cāha;
Ubhopi te pecca samā bhavanti,
Nihīnakammā manujā parattha.
“One who speaks falsely falls into hell,
as does one who, having done a deed, claims, ‘I did not do it’;
both of them, having passed away, become alike,
people of base actions in the hereafter.
Kāsāvakaṇṭhā bahavo,
pāpadhammā asaññatā;
Pāpā pāpehi kammehi,
nirayaṁ te upapajjare.
Many who wear the ochre robe
are unrestrained and evil-natured;
by performing harmful deeds,
they re-arise in hell.
Seyyo ayoguḷo bhutto,
tatto aggisikhūpamo;
Yañce bhuñjeyya dussīlo,
raṭṭhapiṇḍamasaññato”ti.
Better it is to swallow an iron ball
blazing like a fiery flame,
than for an unprincipled and unrestrained person
to consume alms given by the people.
Ayampi attho vutto bhagavatā, iti me sutanti.
This matter too was spoken by the Blessed One, as I have heard.
