## Āgama Sūtra 39, Cheda Sūtra-5, 'Mahānishītha'
If due to the fault of Pāpaśalya, one is born in the realm of Tiryancha, even then one experiences the births of Mahāmātsya, predatory birds, bulls like Saṇḍha, lions, etc. There, due to the special consequence of extremely cruel actions like eating meat, killing five-sense beings, etc., one descends deeper and deeper, even reaching the seventh Naraka. Sūtra-314-315
There, after experiencing such great and terrible suffering for a long time, one is born again in the realm of cruel Tiryancha, performs cruel actions, and returns to Naraka. In this way, one experiences the cycle of birth in Naraka and Tiryancha, experiencing various kinds of great suffering. Even after crores of years, one would not have the strength to describe the suffering. Sūtra-316-318
After that, one experiences births as donkeys, camels, bulls, etc., carrying loads, bearing burdens, enduring the pain of being hit with spiked wood, getting stuck in mud while carrying loads, enduring the suffering of heat, cold, and rain, being killed, bound, having ears and noses pierced for marking, being branded, enduring insults, being yoked and forced to walk together, being beaten with whips, goads, etc., constantly experiencing terrible suffering, day and night, throughout life. One experiences this and many other groups of suffering for a long time, and while suffering, with a tormented mind, one barely gives up the breath. Sūtra-319-323
Then, due to some special auspicious determination, one may attain human birth. But even after becoming a human, due to the fault of the previous Śalya, one is born poor. There, one is surrounded by diseases like leprosy, scabies, etc., and everyone considers it auspicious to not see them. One's heart burns with the strong desire to seize the wealth of others. One dies without achieving success in life. Relying on special determination, one may wander in the realm of stationary beings like earth, or in the realm of two, three, four, or five-sense beings, experiencing such extremely fierce, terrible, and great suffering. (O Gautama!) That being wanders, experiencing unbearable pain in all four realms of existence, and experiences the birth and body condition in the realm of snakes. Sūtra-324
One who has consumed Śalya or the fault of sin in a previous birth, due to that, wanders in all four realms, experiencing birth in each realm, various diseases, pain, suffering, sorrow, poverty, distress, false accusations, the suffering of being in the womb, etc., like burning in fire. That unfortunate being cannot attain the state of Nirvāṇa, the proper joy of the great festival, the power of Samarthya Yoga, the liberation-bestowing chariot of eighteen thousand Śīlāṅga, the destruction of all sins and eight types of karma, the characteristics of non-violence, the state of being free from attachment, the all-knowing Dharma, and the state of Bodhi Samyaktvā. Sūtra-325-327
Relying on special consequences, a soul may attain Bodhi after a long time, after countless transformations of Pudgala. Such a rare Bodhi Ratna, which destroys all suffering, is attained with great difficulty. One who becomes negligent after attaining such a Bodhi Ratna, returns to the same realm, in the same order, on the same path, and experiences the same suffering. Sūtra-328-329
In that way, one experiences the transformation of all Pudgala, all Paryāya, all Varṇāntara, all Gandha, Rūpa, Rasa, Sparśa, and Saṃsthāna, in one's own body form. One experiences the transformation of Bhavasthiti and Kāyasthiti, and all the states of existence in the world.
