22: The Chapter about the Underworld – 267<br />

The wicked have a bad destination<br />

Ven. Moggallāna saw a spirit dressed as a monk flying<br />

through the air with body all on fire and reported it to the<br />

Buddha, who told that previously the spirit had been a monk<br />

under Buddha Kassapa, but had not lived accordingly, and<br />

then he spoke this verse.<br />

307. Kāsāvakaṇṭhā bahavo pāpadhammā asaññatā,<br />

pāpā pāpehi kammehi nirayaṁ te upapajjare.<br />

Many wearing the robe around<br />

their necks are wicked, unrestrained,<br />

the wicked through their wicked deeds<br />

re-arise in the underworld.
