He is immoral, and the stain of immorality has not been abandoned by him;
he is envious, and the stain of envy has not been abandoned by him;
he is stingy, and the stain of stinginess has not been abandoned by him.
Monks, one possessed of these three qualities, not having abandoned these three stains, is deposited in hell as if carried there.
