An Ājīvaka Ājīvakasutta

“Mendicants, an Ājīvaka ascetic with five qualities is placed in hell as if delivered there. “Pañcahi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato ājīvako yathābhataṁ nikkhitto evaṁ niraye. What five? Katamehi pañcahi? They kill living creatures, steal, have sex, lie, and consume intoxicants of beer, wine, and liquor. Pāṇātipātī hoti, adinnādāyī hoti, abrahmacārī hoti, musāvādī hoti, surāmerayamajjapamādaṭṭhāyī hoti. An Ājīvaka ascetic with these five qualities is placed in hell as if delivered there.” Imehi kho, bhikkhave, pañcahi dhammehi samannāgato ājīvako yathābhataṁ nikkhitto evaṁ niraye”ti.
