The Sutra Kritanga Sutra
Observe the living beings (sattva) that are subtle, gross, complete, and incomplete, different in nature, who have come to oneness from the word 'api' (also) indicating the vegetable kingdom. What are they like? - They are afflicted by suffering, arising from the arising of unpleasant feelings, or they torment (duhkham) with the eight types of karma. They are being cooked (paripacyamanah) in the cauldron of the cycle of rebirth with the fuel of their own actions, or they are distressed (artaddhyanopagatan) by their wrongly directed senses, tormented by their mind, speech, and body.
In these (beings), the ignorant one (bala), while committing, revolves in the evil karmas. Committing evil deeds excessively, he also makes others commit evil deeds.
Explanation: The ignorant being, through acts of violence, oppression, and harassment towards the earth-bodied and other living beings, extensively commits evil deeds. And by instigating others, he also causes them to commit evil deeds. Thus, he experiences suffering both here and hereafter due to the ripening of those evil karmas.
