## Āgama Sūtra 39, Cheda Sūtra-5, 'Mahānishīth'
Study/Purpose/Sūtrāṅka Sūtra-277
The pain of the touch of a Kunthuā or itching is only mentioned here as a symptom. In the world, everyone experiences pain directly. Even though they are aware of it, some beings do not know, therefore I say. Sūtra-278-279
Secondly, however, the most terrible pain is experienced by all beings in the world. O Gautama! How many pains are there to be described here? In birth after birth, only so much is spoken by the tongue, "Kill, strike," the fruit of those words alone, and the sinful karma that arises from them, I say. Sūtra-280-283
Wherever it is born, there, in many Bhava-vana, it always wanders, killing, beating, and crushing. If it breaks the limbs, eyes, ears, nose, waist, bones, etc., of any being, or of an insect, butterfly, etc., or if it approves of someone who does so, then, by the arising of that karma, it will be ground in a millstone or in such a machine, just as sesame seeds are ground. In this way, it will receive a succession of pain for one, two, three, twenty, thirty, or a hundred, a thousand, a lakh, not just a number, but until the end of Bhava. Sūtra-284-286
If, out of carelessness or ignorance, someone speaks falsely due to the fault of envy, and utters words that are unpleasant and harmful to the listener, if, out of pride in the cunning of Kāmadeva, they speak repeatedly with prejudice, or if they are called so or approve of it, if they speak falsely, unpleasantly, and harmfully out of anger, greed, fear, or laughter, then, by the arising of that karma, they will be dumb, ugly-mouthed, foolish, sick, and fruitless-spoken, in every Bhava, they will be repeatedly branded as a liar, even though they are light and small, and well-behaved. Sūtra-287
If truthful words are spoken for the benefit of the Jīvanikāya, those words are blameless, and even if they are perhaps false, the blame of falsehood does not attach. Sūtra-288
In this way, knowing the fruits of theft, etc., the loss of wealth acquired in this Bhava or in a previous birth by performing karma like farming, etc., is seen to be due to sin.
Study-2 Purpose-3 Sūtra-289-291
In the same way, some, having suffered the consequences of sexual misconduct, come into the human womb for an infinite time. Even in humanhood, some people have weak digestion, and they find it difficult to digest food. If they eat a little more food, their stomach hurts. Or they are thirsty all the time, and perhaps they die on the way. They want to speak very much, but no one sits near them, they cannot sit still in any place comfortably, they sit with difficulty, even if they find a place, they do not find any welcome because they are devoid of art and science, that poor soul cannot even sleep. Sūtra-292-293
In this way, due to the fault of attachment and beginning, they are bound to the life of hell, and they suffer the intense pain of hell for the duration of the thirty-three Sagaropama. No matter how much they are satisfied, they are not satisfied even after eating that much food, just as a traveler does not find peace, in the same way, this poor soul is not satisfied even after eating.
