�And, Brahmins, what is this fire of delusion that
should be renounced, avoided, and not taken upon
oneself. Indeed, Brahmins, a deluded person, overcome
by delusion, with the mind completely taken over by
delusion, 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 delusion is to
be renounced, and avoided, and not taken upon
oneself.�
