1"Bhikkhus, possessing two qualities, with the breakup of the body, after death, someone here is reborn in the plane of misery, in a bad destination, in the lower world, in hell. What two? (220) Anger and hostility … (221) Denigration and insolence … (222) Envy and miserliness … (223) Deceitfulness and craftiness … (224) Moral shamelessness and moral recklessness. Possessing these two qualities, with the breakup of the body, after death, someone here is reborn in the plane of misery, in a bad destination, in the lower world, in hell."
