[290] Five dangers (ādīnava) for an immoral person (dussīla) through failure of virtue (sīlavipatti):
1. Here, friends, an immoral person, one who has failed in virtue, incurs great loss of wealth on account of negligence. This is the first danger for an immoral person through failure of virtue.
2. Again, friends, a bad report of ill fame spreads abroad concerning an immoral person who has failed in virtue. This is the second danger for an immoral person through failure of virtue.
3. Again, friends, an immoral person who has failed in virtue, whatever assembly he approaches—whether an assembly of khattiyas, an assembly of brahmins, an assembly of householders, or an assembly of ascetics—approaches it without confidence, abashed. This is the third danger for an immoral person through failure of virtue.
4. Again, friends, an immoral person who has failed in virtue dies confused. This is the fourth danger for an immoral person through failure of virtue.
5. Again, friends, an immoral person who has failed in virtue, upon the breaking up of the body, after death, is reborn in a state of deprivation, a bad destination, a place of ruin, hell. This is the fifth danger for an immoral person through failure of virtue.
