Charnel Ground Dwellers

Sosānikasutta

EN
“Mendicants, these five dwell in a charnel ground. What five? One may dwell in a charnel ground because of stupidity … corrupt wishes … madness … because it is praised by the Buddhas … or for the sake of having few wishes … These are the five who dwell in a charnel ground.”
PL
“Pañcime, bhikkhave, sosānikā. Katame pañca? Mandattā momūhattā sosāniko hoti …pe… idamatthitaṁyeva nissāya sosāniko hoti. Ime kho, bhikkhave, pañca sosānikā”ti.
PL
Catutthaṁ.
