Aṅguttara Nikāya - The Numerical Discourses

5: The Book of the Fives

219. Fire

1"Bhikkhus, there are these five dangers in fire. What five? It is not good for the eyes; it causes a bad complexion; it causes weakness; it promotes fondness of company; and it conduces to pointless talk. These are the five dangers in fire."

1"Pañcime, bhikkhave, ādīnavā aggismiṁ. Katame pañca? Acakkhusso, dubbaṇṇakaraṇo, dubbalakaraṇo, saṅgaṇikāpavaḍḍhano, tiracchānakathāpavattaniko hoti. Ime kho, bhikkhave, pañca ādīnavā aggismin"ti.


Navamaṁ.
