9: The Chapter about Wickedness – 128<br />

There is nowhere to hide from one’s deeds<br />

Three different groups of monks who were on their way to the<br />

Buddha saw a crow die in mid-air, a woman drowned on a<br />

voyage and themselves get buried in a cave; they asked the<br />

Buddha why it all happened, and he explained there is<br />

nowhere to escape from the results of bad actions, and spoke<br />

this verse.<br />

127. Na antalikkhe, na samuddamajjhe,<br />

na pabbatānaṁ vivaraṁ pavissa:<br />

na vijjatī so jagatippadeso<br />

yatthaṭṭhito mucceyya pāpakammā.<br />

Neither in the sky, nor in the ocean,<br />

nor after entering a mountain cleft:<br />

there is no place found on this earth where one<br />

is free from the results of wicked deeds.
