It’s when a mendicant is faithless, shameless, imprudent, lazy, and witless.Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu assaddho hoti, ahiriko hoti, anottappī hoti, kusīto hoti, duppañño hoti. A mendicant with these five qualities is placed in hell as if delivered there.Imehi kho, bhikkhave, pañcahi dhammehi samannāgato bhikkhu yathābhataṁ nikkhitto evaṁ niraye.
