"Hotu, bhante nāgasena, tathā taṃ sampaṭicchāmi.

“Let it be, revered Nāgasena, I accept it as you say.
|
‘Very well, Nāgasena! I accept it as you say.

– Пусть так, почтенный Нагасена. Здесь я с тобой согласен:

The arahat is an exception to this statement; all other beings are full of fear. But those beings who are suffering painful, sharp and severe agonies in hell, who are tormented with burnings all over their bodies and limbs, who are full of lamentation and cries for pity, who find no protection or refuge or help, who are afflicted beyond measure, who in the worst and lowest conditions are still destined to further pain, can these poor, burning wretches be afraid of death?

The Arahat is an exception in this phrase, and it is the rest of beings who are full of fear. But those beings in purgatory, of whom I spoke, who are suffering painful, sharp, and severe agonies, who are tormented with burnings all over their bodies and limbs, whose mouths are full of lamentation, and cries for pity, and cries of weeping and wailing and woe, who are overcome with pains too sharp to be borne, who find no refuge nor protection nor help, who are afflicted beyond measure, who in the worst and lowest of conditions are still destined to a certainty to further pain, who are being burnt with hot, sharp, fierce, and cruel flames, who are giving utterance to mighty shouts and groans born of horror and fear, who are embraced by the garlands of flame which intertwine around them from all the six directions, and flash in fiery speed through a hundred leagues on every side—can those poor burning wretches be afraid of death?’

на святых эти слова не распространяются, а прочие существа испытывают страх. Но обитатели ада? Пребывая в этой злейшей из юдолей, они терпят пытки тяжкие, жестокие, непереносимые; каждую клеточку и каждый член их тела жжет и гложет огонь; плачут они, рыдают и горюют, и уста их исторгают лишь жалобные вопли и причитания; подавленным нестерпимо тяжелыми страданиями, истерзанным великой мукой, нет им ни защиты, ни прибежища, ни облегчения, и они предаются, безысходному отчаянию. В кромешном аду, зарево от которого видно за сто йоджан, в жарком, знойном, губительно палящем, раскаленном пекле, где их со всех шести сторон лижут языки пламени, а оглушительный гул порождает в них смятение и ужас,– как могут они бояться смерти?
