27And if from the company of the bad he takes pleasure in wrongdoing, his senses unmastered, his mind on desire, mean, greedy, ruled by women, and violent towards living things, 28killing beasts outside the rule and worshipping the crowds of the dead and the spirits, that creature goes helpless to the hells and passes into the thick darkness. 29Doing with his body works whose end is sorrow, he takes a body again through those very works. What happiness is there in that for one whose nature is to die? 30The worlds are afraid of me, and so are the world-guardians who live an age long; and even Brahma, whose life runs to two parardhas, is afraid of me.
