- DG BB TBW © Translated from the Pali by Bhikkhu Bodhi (More copyright information)
1Then the householder Anāthapiṇḍika approached the Blessed One, paid homage to him, and sat down to one side. The Blessed One then said to him:
2"Householder, without having abandoned five perils and enmities, one is called immoral and is reborn in hell. What five? The destruction of life, taking what is not given, sexual misconduct, false speech, and indulging in liquor, wine, and intoxicants, the basis for heedlessness. Without having abandoned these five perils and enmities, one is called immoral and is reborn in hell.
3"Householder, having abandoned five perils and enmities, one is called virtuous and is reborn in heaven. What five? The destruction of life … and indulging in liquor, wine, and intoxicants, the basis for heedlessness. Having abandoned these five perils and enmities, one is called virtuous and is reborn in heaven.
4(1) "Householder, one who destroys life thereby engenders peril and enmity pertaining to the present life and the future life, and also experiences mental pain and dejection. One who abstains from the destruction of life does not engender peril and enmity pertaining to the present life and the future life, nor does he experience mental pain and dejection. For one who abstains from the destruction of life, that peril and enmity has thus subsided.
5(2) "Householder, one who takes what is not given …
6(3) … engages in sexual misconduct …
7(4) … speaks falsely …
8(5) … indulges in liquor, wine, and intoxicants, the basis for heedlessness, thereby engenders peril and enmity pertaining to the present life and the future life, and also experiences mental pain and dejection. One who abstains from liquor, wine, and intoxicants, the basis for heedlessness, does not engender peril and enmity pertaining to the present life and the future life, nor does he experience mental pain and dejection. For one who abstains from liquor, wine, and intoxicants, the basis for heedlessness, that peril and enmity has thus subsided."
9There's a man in the world who destroys life,
speaks falsely, and takes what is not given,
who goes to the wives of others,
and indulges in liquor and wine.
10Harboring within the five enmities,
he is called immoral.
With the breakup of the body,
that unwise person is reborn in hell.
11But there is a man in the world
who does not destroy life,
speak falsely, take what is not given,
go to the wives of others,
or indulge in liquor and wine.
12Having abandoned the five enmities,
he is called virtuous.
With the breakup of the body,
that wise person is reborn in heaven.
1Atha kho anāthapiṇḍiko gahapati yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi. Ekamantaṁ nisinnaṁ kho anāthapiṇḍikaṁ gahapatiṁ bhagavā etadavoca:
2"Pañca, gahapati, bhayāni verāni appahāya ‘dussīlo’ iti vuccati, nirayañca upapajjati. Katamāni pañca? Pāṇātipātaṁ, adinnādānaṁ, kāmesumicchācāraṁ, musāvādaṁ, surāmerayamajjapamādaṭṭhānaṁ – imāni kho, gahapati, pañca bhayāni verāni appahāya ‘dussīlo’ iti vuccati, nirayañca upapajjati.
3Pañca, gahapati, bhayāni verāni pahāya ‘sīlavā’ iti vuccati, sugatiñca upapajjati. Katamāni pañca? Pāṇātipātaṁ, adinnādānaṁ, kāmesumicchācāraṁ, musāvādaṁ, surāmerayamajjapamādaṭṭhānaṁ – imāni kho, gahapati, pañca bhayāni verāni pahāya ‘sīlavā’ iti vuccati, sugatiñca upapajjati.
4Yaṁ, gahapati, pāṇātipātī pāṇātipātapaccayā diṭṭhadhammikampi bhayaṁ veraṁ pasavati, samparāyikampi bhayaṁ veraṁ pasavati, cetasikampi dukkhaṁ domanassaṁ paṭisaṁvedeti, pāṇātipātā paṭivirato neva diṭṭhadhammikaṁ bhayaṁ veraṁ pasavati, na samparāyikaṁ bhayaṁ veraṁ pasavati, na cetasikaṁ dukkhaṁ domanassaṁ paṭisaṁvedeti.

Surāmerayamajjapamādaṭṭhānā paṭiviratassa evaṁ taṁ bhayaṁ veraṁ vūpasantaṁ hotīti.
9Yo pāṇamatipāteti,
musāvādañca bhāsati;
Loke adinnaṁ ādiyati,
paradārañca gacchati;
Surāmerayapānañca,
yo naro anuyuñjati.
10Appahāya pañca verāni,
dussīlo iti vuccati;
Kāyassa bhedā duppañño,
nirayaṁ sopapajjati.
11Yo pāṇaṁ nātipāteti,
musāvādaṁ na bhāsati;
Loke adinnaṁ nādiyati,
paradāraṁ na gacchati;
Surāmerayapānañca,
yo naro nānuyuñjati.
12Pahāya pañca verāni,
sīlavā iti vuccati;
Kāyassa bhedā sappañño,
sugatiṁ sopapajjatī"ti.
Catutthaṁ.
