Those who desire happiness through oppression and violence, are devoid of good conduct, devoid of good character, devoid of morality, and are men of evil and wicked character, filled with immorality. They experience such states in the world, as the Sutrakar says:
"They cry, they are cut, they tremble, the doers of karma, separate beings, countless are the monks. Therefore, the wise, abstaining, self-guarded, seeing them, should restrain himself." (20)
Commentary: Those who are engaged in the violence of the body, who desire happiness through the violence of beings, go to hell and other destinations, and are tormented by terrible sufferings. They are consumed by unbearable pain, their minds are filled with fear, they are helpless, they "cry" - they only cry out in sorrow. They are "cut" - they are cut by swords and other weapons, and thus they are "trembling" - they flee. They have karma, therefore they are "doers of karma" - those who are sinful. "Beings" are separate beings, and knowing this, the "monk" who is virtuous, is a good man. Because those who oppress and kill beings are destroyed in the world, therefore the "wise" - the learned - abstain from sinful actions, and he is "self-guarded" - his mind, speech, and body are guarded. Seeing the "trembling" - the mobile beings, and the "stationary" - the immobile beings, he should "restrain himself" - he should stop from doing actions that harm them. (20)
Now, the wicked ones of their own group are being described.
"He who enjoys what is obtained by dharma, he who bathes with a rough cloth, he who runs and adorns his clothes, they say he is far from nakedness." (21)
