3.16

The five deeds of immediate retribution are the extremity of evil and rebellion; anyone who commits these deeds must inevitably receive retribution in the Avīci Hell. The Tathāgata sometimes speaks of those who commit the five deeds of immediate retribution yet do not enter the Avīci Hell ("unselective" means "immediate"). Mahāmati did not understand, and therefore questioned the Buddha. In the answer, he first lists their names according to factual matters, and next examines and explains them in terms of the Dharma. Although the names conform to rebellion, the Dharma in truth conforms to compliance; the meaning appears below.
