[44] Thus, bhikkhus, when wealth was not given to those without wealth, poverty grew widespread; when poverty had grown widespread … divisive speech (pisuṇā vācā) grew widespread; when divisive speech had grown widespread, the lifespan of those beings declined and their beauty (vaṇṇa) also declined. As they declined in lifespan and declined in beauty, the humans whose lifespan was twenty thousand years had children whose lifespan was ten thousand years.
Bhikkhus, among the humans whose lifespan was ten thousand years, some beings were beautiful and some beings were ugly. Therein, those beings who were ugly, coveting the beautiful beings, committed transgression with the wives of others.
