chakraworty? Finally after death he went to 7th Hell with no alternate but to suffer for innumerable long years of 33 sagaropam of life period with pains and sorrows. Therefore, after knowing the tragic results of anger one should not anger, soul should better refrain from becoming angry. [29] AGNISHARMA TÄPAS:
Prasanna Chandra got angry for a moment, but he calmed down and changed his mental thoughts, and as a result he reduced his Karma and was saved from his (re) birth in Hell, and ultimately by getting his Karmas over, suffered and nullified - and then he reached upto the stage of Kevalgyãn [infinite knowledge / omni science/ knowledge of all the objects of all the worlds at all the times.) [30] RESULTS OF GREED - KONIK:(Greed for wealth - sent Konik & others to Hell)
Sin of accumulation of excessire wealth leads soul to suffer in the Hell. A boat sinks in water when overloaded, similarly with the load of sins of accumulation, human beings sink down in the Hell.
* enary RUTH Sometimes if anger is not cooled down, it increases the continuity in tradition of revenge. It is only the "anger" which is the cause of acts of revenge and which go on increasing. Agnisharmã Tāpas performed penance of Mãskhaman i.e. one month fasting, for 3 continuous month one after another. However, somehow or other, did not get any thing to eat /drink, on his pāranã i.e. day when one month ) fast is over, not only once but on three occasions of pārnās. As such he got furious and extremely angry. He did not get mercy, he was merciless and annoyed at Gunsen [his friend of young age and the prince who had invited him for such pārnās) and made Niyānā [ and evil wish / oath] that " I would become his destroyer, life after life [ in several re - births) " By such evil desire Agnisharmã Tāpas destroyed his own merits and goodness of penance and wasted his birth. In future rebirths, he committed the Sins of killing the Soul of Gunsen - not once but time and again in various births & re-births) and finally he went to Hell.
Kamath, in tremendous anger, killed his younger brother Marubhuti by breaking his head with the stone and made a Niyanã (i.e. strong desire ) that life after life... I would kill him ! And it so happened, up to 10 incarnations / rebirths, the tradition of revenge continued, Kamath went on killing the soul of Marubhuti in all those births and accumulated tremendous quantum of sins and went to Hell again and again.
Prince Vishwabhuti was the soul of God Mahaveer. In his 16th birth, after completing his Tapashrya [of penance religious act] of Mãskhaman [ fast of one month) he got angry on Vishãknandi and made a Niyānā (strong desire) that “Now, in the future birth too, I would kill Vishãknandi." And the same happened, in 18th incarnation, he was born as [Tripusth] Vasudeo and he teared off the lion i.e. rebirth of soul of Vishäknandi] and accumulated highly sinful Karma and finally in the 19th birth he went to 7th Hell. Anger for a single minute or even for a single second - punishments in turn for so many years ? So many of rebirths?
A greedy person roams all around the world and in the greed of acquiring wealth he becomes weak. He doesnot care whether the climate is hot or cold. He bears all the hardships. This greed is the cause of quarrel between the father and son, mother and son. It is due to this greed for which even a King is prepared to remain in forest. Two eldest sons of Rishabhdev quarreled for 12 years. Even though Lord (God) Rishabhdev was alive, both his sons kept on quarrelling for 12 long years. Imagine what could have been the reason? Only 'greed.' The greed for acquiring province is also very dangerous, Even to such an extent that Konik imprisoned his own father - the Emperor of Magadh, Shrenik Bimbisar) . He gave his father tremendous grief & sorrow. Konik after his death went to 6th Hell due to greed of becoming ruler of six continents, Kālkumar and others went to Hell due to greedy activities. It is being described in the Aãgams i.e. religious scriptures like Niryāvālika Sutra, as to the various categories of the Hell and pains, sorrows, sufferings and torturings in the Hells. Oh fortunate people ! Abandon greed and follow the path of Samvar (i.e.withdrawal from outer world & to calm mind for spiritual purposes) religion.
In Samarāditya scripture, the future births of Gunsen and Agnisharmã are described. In the third birth, Shikhikumar asked Acharyadevshri Vijaysinhsuri Mahārāj the cause for his Vairāgya [ sacrificing wordly things). Answering to this, narrating about cause of his own several past births he replied " Listen ! Merely due to greed, the number of births and rebirths we had to take ? And it is worth noting as to how long the tradition of revenge continue due to greed ? :
