[1099] "One should not take the wrong course of hatred (dosāgati)": how does one taking the wrong course of hatred take it? Here someone binds resentment (āghāta), thinking: "He has done me harm"; he binds resentment, thinking: "He is doing me harm"; he binds resentment, thinking: "He will do me harm"; he binds resentment, thinking: "He has done harm, is doing harm, will do harm to one who is dear and agreeable to me"; he binds resentment, thinking: "He has done good, is doing good, will do good to one who is not dear and not agreeable to me." On account of these nine grounds of resentment (āghātavatthu) — resentful, hostile, angered, overcome by anger — he declares what is not Dhamma to be Dhamma; he declares what is Dhamma to be not Dhamma … he declares a grave offense (āpatti) to be an offense that is not grave; he declares an offense that is not grave to be a grave offense. Taking the wrong course of hatred on these eighteen grounds, he is practicing for the detriment of many people, for the unhappiness of many people, for the harm, detriment, and suffering of many people, of devas and humans. Taking the wrong course of hatred on these eighteen grounds, he maintains himself dug up and injured; he is blameworthy and reprehensible in the eyes of the wise, and he generates much demerit. One taking the wrong course of hatred takes it thus.
