[210] 5. This was said by the Blessed One, said by the Arahant — so I have heard:
"Bhikkhus, a person possessing two things (dhammā) is deposited in hell (niraya) as if carried and placed there. What two? Bad conduct (sīla) and bad view (diṭṭhi). Possessing these two things, bhikkhus, a person is deposited in hell as if carried and placed there."
The Blessed One spoke this meaning. Therein this is said:
"With bad conduct and with bad view —
the person who possesses these two things,
with the breakup of the body, that one of poor wisdom is reborn in hell."
This meaning too was spoken by the Blessed One — so I have heard. The fifth.
