An Ājīvaka

“Mendicants, an Ājīvaka ascetic with five qualities is placed in hell as if delivered there. What five? They kill living creatures, steal, have sex, lie, and consume beer, wine, and liquor intoxicants. An Ājīvaka ascetic with these five qualities is placed in hell as if delivered there.”
