What are the five? They are (1) kings, (2) thieves, (3) fire, (4) water, and (5) the hostile confiscation of one’s property. In their next lives, four undesirable consequences will quickly manifest for such beings. What are the four? (1) After their bodies disintegrate, they will be born within the terrible great hells. (2) When, in a rare combination of circumstances and after a long time has passed, they finally pass away and leave the hell realms, they will be born in a dry and barren wilderness as blind animals or pretas without arms and legs, and for many hundreds of thousands of years they will experience the suffering of the intense torments caused by hunger and thirst. (3) When, in a rare combination of circumstances and after a long time has passed, they then pass away and transmigrate, they will be born for many hundreds of thousands of years as blind poisonous snakes that feed on dust. (4) When, in a rare combination of circumstances and after a long time has passed, they finally pass away and are born among humans, they will achieve the human condition within empty buddha realms ripe with the five degenerations. They will be stupid and ugly, their eyes, arms, and legs will be impaired, and they will crave dog food and feed on excrement. They will sleep in filthy swamps and rubbish heaps and spend their lives in the wilderness, in barren lands, and on highways. Then, after they pass away, they will again be born within the hell realms. “Why will they experience such severe undesirable consequences? Because those monks who engage in negative actions steal and use for their own personal enjoyment the houses, fields, monastic compounds, male and female servants, and cattle that have been dedicated to those who abide by the Dharma. - [Previous: 1.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.mahasamnipata.suryagarbha*bo~en-84000.1.11) - [Next: 1.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.mahasamnipata.suryagarbha*bo~en-84000.1.13) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.mahasamnipata.suryagarbha*bo~en-84000.1) ## Linked texts (1) - [འཕགས་པ་ཤིན་ཏུ་རྒྱས་པ་ཆེན་པོའི་སྡེ་ཉི་མའི་སྙིང་པོ་ཞེས་བྱ་བའི་མདོ](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.mahasamnipata.suryagarbha*bo.1.12) — Classical Tibetan --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.mahasamnipata.suryagarbha*bo~en-84000.1.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.mahasamnipata.suryagarbha*bo~en-84000.1.12) · Pramāṇa
