[130] Bhikkhus, there are these five losses (byasana). Which five? Loss of relatives, loss of wealth, loss through illness, loss of virtue (sīla), and loss of view (diṭṭhi). Bhikkhus, it is not by reason of loss of relatives, or by reason of loss of wealth, or by reason of loss through illness that beings, with the breakup of the body, after death, arise in a state of deprivation, a bad destination, a place of ruin, hell. It is by reason of loss of virtue, bhikkhus, or by reason of loss of view that beings, with the breakup of the body, after death, arise in a state of deprivation, a bad destination, a place of ruin, hell. These, bhikkhus, are the five losses.
Bhikkhus, there are these five accomplishments (sampadā). Which five? Accomplishment of relatives, accomplishment of wealth, accomplishment of health, accomplishment of virtue, and accomplishment of view. Bhikkhus, it is not by reason of accomplishment of relatives, or by reason of accomplishment of wealth, or by reason of accomplishment of health that beings, with the breakup of the body, after death, arise in a good destination, a heavenly world. It is by reason of accomplishment of virtue, bhikkhus, or by reason of accomplishment of view that beings, with the breakup of the body, after death, arise in a good destination, a heavenly world. These, bhikkhus, are the five accomplishments.
