「不善业道」──即是不善业及为恶趣之道的杀生、偷盗、邪淫、妄语、两舌、恶口、绮语、贪欲、瞋恚、邪见等的十种。

Ñ(XXII,62): The unprofitable courses of action are the ten, namely, killing living things, taking what is not given, sexual misconduct; false speech, malicious speech, harsh speech, gossip; covetousness, ill will, and wrong view. They are so called since they are both unprofitable action (kamma) and courses that lead to unhappy destinies.
