sn42.3:2.1 “Clearly, chief, I’m not getting through to you when I say:
sn42.3:2.2 ‘Enough, chief, let it be. Don’t ask me that.’
sn42.3:2.3 Nevertheless, I will answer you.
sn42.3:2.4 When a warrior strives and struggles in battle, their mind is already low, degraded, and misdirected as they think:
sn42.3:2.5 ‘May these sentient beings be killed, slaughtered, slain, destroyed, or annihilated!’
sn42.3:2.6 His foes kill him and finish him off, and
sn42.3:2.7 when his body breaks up, after death, he’s reborn in the hell called ‘The Fallen’.
sn42.3:2.8 But if you have such a view:
sn42.3:2.9 ‘Suppose a warrior, while striving and struggling in battle, is killed and finished off by his foes. When his body breaks up, after death, he’s reborn in the company of the gods of the fallen.’ This is your wrong view.
sn42.3:2.10 An individual with wrong view is reborn in one of two places, I say:
sn42.3:2.11 hell or the animal realm.”
