[222] Sāriputta, when one cultivates bodily conduct of what kind do unwholesome states increase and wholesome states decline? Here, Sāriputta, a certain person is one who destroys life: he is cruel, bloody-handed, given over to blows and slaughter, merciless toward living beings. Further, he is one who takes what is not given: whatever wealth and belongings of another there be, whether in the village or in the wilderness, he is one who takes them, not given, by way of theft. Further, he is one who engages in misconduct in sensual pleasures: with women protected by their mother, protected by their father, protected by both mother and father, protected by a brother, protected by a sister, protected by relatives, who have a husband, who are protected under threat of punishment, or even, at the least, one garlanded with a string of flowers in token of betrothal — with such women he is one who commits transgression. Sāriputta, when one cultivates bodily conduct of such a kind, unwholesome states increase and wholesome states decline.
