故地持論云。邪婬之罪。亦令眾生墮三惡道。若生人中。得二種果報。一者婦不貞潔。二者得不隨意眷屬。邪婬何故墮於地獄。以其邪婬干犯非分侵物為苦。所以命終受地獄苦。何故邪婬出為畜生。以其邪婬不順人理。所以出獄受畜生身。何故邪婬復為餓鬼。以其婬佚皆因慳愛。慳愛罪故。復為餓鬼。何故邪婬婦不貞潔緣犯他妻故。所得婦常不貞正。何故邪婬不得隨意眷屬。以其邪婬奪人所寵故。其眷屬不得隨意。所以復為人之所奪。當知邪婬三大苦也。
Therefore, the Bodhisattvabhūmi-śāstra states: "The sin of sexual misconduct also causes sentient beings to fall into the three evil destinies. If born among humans, they receive two kinds of retributions: first, one's wife is unchaste; second, one obtains a retinue that does not accord with one's wishes. Why does sexual misconduct lead to falling into the hells? Because sexual misconduct trespasses beyond one's proper bounds and infringes upon others to their torment; therefore, when life ends, one receives the suffering of the hells. Why does sexual misconduct result in emerging as an animal? Because sexual misconduct does not accord with human principles; therefore, upon emerging from hell, one receives an animal body. Why does sexual misconduct further lead to becoming a hungry ghost? Because lust and debauchery all stem from stinginess and craving; through the sin of stinginess and craving, one further becomes a hungry ghost. Why, with sexual misconduct, is one's wife unchaste? Because one violated another's wife; hence the wife one obtains is always unchaste. Why, with sexual misconduct, does one not obtain a retinue that accords with one's wishes? Because by sexual misconduct one seized another's beloved; hence one's retinue does not accord with one's wishes, and so they are again seized by others. One should know that sexual misconduct is the third great suffering."
