137. yo daṇḍena adaṇḍesu, appaduṭṭhesu dussati.
dasannamaññataraṃ ṭhānaṃ, khippameva nigacchati.

138. vedanaṃ pharusaṃ jāniṃ, sarīrassa ca bhedanaṃ .
garukaṃ vāpi ābādhaṃ, cittakkhepañca pāpuṇe.

139. rājato vā upasaggaṃ, abbhakkhānañca dāruṇaṃ.
parikkhayañca ñātīnaṃ, bhogānañca pabhaṅguraṃ .

140. atha vāssa agārāni, aggi ḍahati pāvako.
kāyassa bhedā duppañño, nirayaṃ sopapajjati .
