Dhamma Verses (Dhammapada, KN 2)

10: The Chapter about the Stick – 137
The fruit of unjust punishment
Ven. Moggallāna was murdered by brigands acting on behalf
of the naked ascetics; the Buddha explained that in a past life,
being swayed by his wife he had murdered his parents, which
was why he died in this way in the present life, and then he
spoke these verses.
137. Yo daṇḍena adaṇḍesu appaduṭṭhesu dussati
dasannam-aññataraṁ ṭhānaṁ khippam-eva nigacchati:
Whoever offends with a stick
those who are inoffensive and
harmless will quickly fall into
one of the following ten states:
138. vedanaṁ pharusaṁ, jāniṁ, sarīrassa ca bhedanaṁ,
garukaṁ vā pi ābādhaṁ, cittakkhepaṁ va pāpuṇe,
harsh feelings and loss of his wealth,
and the break-up of the body,
or even heavy affliction,
or surely he will lose his mind,
139. rājato vā upassaggaṁ, abbhakkhānaṁ va dāruṇaṁ,
parikkhayaṁ va ñātīnaṁ, bhogānaṁ va pabhaṅguraṁ,
there may be danger from the King,
or slander that is terrible,
he may suffer from loss of kin,
or from the destruction of wealth,
140. atha vāssa agārāni aggi ḍahati pāvako,
kāyassa bhedā duppañño nirayaṁ so upapajjati.
also his houses may be consumed
by flames and fire, and at the death
of the body that foolish one
will arise in the underworld.
