## The Western Chapter
Those whose words are like honey but whose hearts are filled with poison, who are controlled by their senses and whose minds are immersed in the three periods of the day, are like cows that are milked three times a day. (331)
Those who are devoid of proper conduct and act according to their desires, these wicked beings wander in the cycle of animal births. (332)
It is rare for a being to obtain human birth, even rarer to be born beautiful, even rarer to be wealthy, even rarer to be born into a noble family, even rarer to acquire knowledge, even rarer to understand the nature of things, and even rarer to attain the path of Dharma. (333-334)
Some, after practicing Dharma, attain happiness in heaven, enjoying the company of gods and goddesses. (335)
But after falling from heaven, they are born in a womb, covered in excrement and urine, filled with wriggling worms, foul-smelling and unbearable. (336)
In the womb, these beings are covered in a membrane, surrounded by bile, phlegm, etc., and they lick the fluids of the mother's food that leak out through the umbilical cord. (337)
Their entire body is compressed, and they are constantly tormented by the weight of suffering. After living there, they are born again as humans. (338)
From birth, these cruel beings are devoid of discipline, conduct, and right vision. They are filled with sin and indulge in worldly pleasures. (339)
Those who are enslaved by lust and have abandoned right conduct, experience great suffering and wander in the ocean of existence. (340)
Words that cause pain to others should be avoided with all effort, for such words lead to violence, and violence is the cause of rebirth. (341)
Similarly, stealing, adultery, and the desire for great wealth should all be abandoned, for they are the causes of suffering. (342)
Hearing the teachings of Dharma from the mouth of the sage, the king of the Vidyadharas, Maharaks, attained dispassion. He then bowed to the sage and asked:
"How do some people directly fall into hell?" (330)
