75.65

If again there is someone / Who delights in false speech, / In the present this person obtains / Foul speech and an ugly countenance; / / Though what he says is true, / People do not believe or accept it; / The multitude all detest him, / And do not take pleasure in seeing him: / / This is called the retribution / Of evil karma in the present life. / Having abandoned this body, / He enters into hell / / To receive great agony, / Hunger, thirst, heat, and torment: / This is called the retribution / Of evil karma in future lives. / / If he obtains a human body, / His mouth will be incomplete; / Though what he says is true, / People do not believe or accept it; / / Those who see him are displeased; / Though he expounds the True Dharma, / People take no pleasure in hearing it. / Because of the power of this evil person's causal conditions, / All external material goods / And means of livelihood decrease.
