----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[1] 'Monks, if any monk abuses and reviles,
rails at the Ariyans
who are his fellows in the Brahma-life,
it is utterly impossible,
it is unavoidable
that he should not come
to one or other
of eleven disasters.
What eleven?
[202] He fails to attain the unattained;
from what he has attained he falls away;
true dhamma is not made clear for him;
or else he is conceited about true dhammas,
or he follows the Brahma life without delight therein,
or commits some foul offence,
[318] or gives up the trainiug and falls back to the low life;[2] or he falls into some grievous sickness,
or goes out of his mind with distraction;
he makes an end with mind confused
and when body breaks up, beyond death,
rises up again in the Waste,
the Ill-bourn,
the Downfall,
in Purgatory.
Monks, if any monk abuses and reviles,
rails at the Ariyans
who are his fellows in the Brahma-life,
it is utterly impossible,
it is unavoidable
that he should not come
to one or other
of these eleven disasters.'
