Whoever,
with a rod,
harasses an innocent man, unarmed,
quickly falls into any of ten things:
harsh pains, devastation, a broken body, grave illness, mental
derangement, trouble with the government, violent slander, relatives
lost, property dissolved, houses burned down.
At the break-up of the body
this one with no disconcernment,
reappears in
hell.
- Dhammapada, 137-140, translated by Thanissaro Bhikkhu
