后来因为他们常作非法享受,为诸智者所谴责,为了覆蔽他们的非法,便建立他们的家。
Ñ(XIII,52): [419] For their [overt] practice of evil they are censured and punished by the wise, and so they build houses for the purpose of concealing the evil.


Te agāraṃ ajjhāvasamānā anukkamena aññatarassa alasajātikassa sattassa diṭṭhānugatiṃ āpajjantā sannidhiṃ karonti.
他们住在家中,渐渐地仿效某些怠惰的有情而作(米的)贮藏。
Ñ: When they live in houses, they eventually fall in with the views of the more lazy, and they make stores of food.


Tato pabhuti kaṇopi thusopi taṇḍulaṃ pariyonandhati, lāyitaṭṭhānampi na paṭivirūhati.

于是他们集聚悲叹,如《起世因本经》说:「诸君!于有情中实已流行恶法。我们过去原是意生的」。
Ñ: They meet together and bemoan the fact, 'Evil has surely made its appearance among beings; for formerly we were mind-made …' (D.iii,90), and all this should be given in full in the way described in the Aggañña Sutta.
