Furthermore, practicing the ten evils, according to the Abhidharmakośa, brings three kinds of results for each: first, vipāka (retribution); second, niṣyanda (commensurate result); third, adhipati (predominant result). The retribution result can be understood; the remaining two are briefly explained. In killing living beings: first, the commensurate result is a short lifespan; second, the predominant result is little radiance and luster. In stealing: first, a scarcity of wealth; second, frequently suffering thunder and hail. In sexual misconduct: first, one's spouse is unchaste; second, excessive dust and dirt. In false speech: first, frequently suffering slander; second, excessive foul odors and filth. In divisive speech: first, discord among close friends; second, dwelling in treacherous and craggy terrain. In harsh speech: first, constantly hearing harsh sounds; second, fields overgrown with thorns and briars, unsuitable for crops. In frivolous speech: first, one's words carry no authority; second, unseasonal weather. In greed: first, greed becomes blazing; second, few fruits. In anger: first, anger becomes blazing; second, bitter and pungent fruits. In wrong views: first, delusion flourishes; second, having no fruit. In each of these, the first is the commensurate result, and the second is the predominant result.
