[214] Again, Mahānāma, with sensual pleasures (kāma) as the cause, sensual pleasures as the source, sensual pleasures as the basis—the cause being simply sensual pleasures—kings dispute with kings, khattiyas dispute with khattiyas, brahmins dispute with brahmins, householders dispute with householders; mother disputes with son, son disputes with mother, father disputes with son, son disputes with father, brother disputes with brother, brother disputes with sister, sister disputes with brother, friend disputes with friend. Having fallen there into quarrels, contention, and dispute, they attack one another with fists, they attack with clods, they attack with sticks, they attack with weapons; and thereby they incur death, or suffering (dukkha) verging on death. This too, Mahānāma, is a drawback of sensual pleasures, a mass of suffering, with sensual pleasures as the cause, sensual pleasures as the source, sensual pleasures as the basis—the cause being simply sensual pleasures.
