1: The Chapter about the Pairs – 27<br />

The wicked suffer<br />

Devadatta grew jealous and plotted to kill the Buddha, when<br />

that failed he tried to cause a schism; eventually he wished to<br />

seek for forgiveness, but before he reached the Buddha he fell<br />

into Avīci, the hell of relentless suffering; the Buddha<br />

summarised the events with this verse.<br />

17. Idha tappati, pecca tappati,<br />

pāpakārī ubhayattha tappati,<br />

“Pāpaṁ mĕ katan”-ti tappati,<br />

bhiyyo tappati duggatiṁ gato.<br />

Here he suffers, after death he suffers,<br />

the wicked one suffers in both places,<br />

he suffers, thinking: “I have done evil,”<br />

gone to a bad fate, he suffers much more.
