�And, Brahmins, what is this fire of lust that should
be renounced, avoided, and not taken upon oneself.
Indeed, Brahmins, a lustful person, overcome by lust,
with the mind completely taken over by lust, behaves
badly in body, speech, and mind. Having behaved
badly in body, speech, and mind, at the breaking up of
the body and then death, he is reborn in a state of
woe, in a realm of misery, in great ruin, in hell.
Therefore this fire of lust is to be renounced, and
avoided, and not taken upon oneself.�
