 As he was sitting to one side, King Pasenadi Kosala said to the Blessed One:  | 
          
      
       
   | 
| 
       
 "Just now, lord, as I was sitting in judgment, I saw that even affluent nobles, affluent brahmans, & affluent householders — rich, with great wealth & property, with vast amounts of gold & silver, vast amounts of valuables & commodities, vast amounts of wealth & grain — tell deliberate lies with sensual pleasures as the cause, sensual pleasures as the reason, simply for the sake of sensual pleasures. Then, the thought occured to me: 'I've had enough of this judging! Let some other fine fellow be known for his judgments!'"  |

 "That's the way it is, great king! That's the way it is! Even affluent nobles, affluent brahmans, & affluent householders... tell deliberate lies with sensual pleasures as the cause, sensual pleasures as the reason, simply for the sake of sensual pleasures. That will lead to their long-term harm & pain."  | 
          
      
       
  | 
| 
       
 That is what the Blessed One said. Having said that, the One Well-Gone, the Teacher, said further:  | 
      
       
  |

 Impassioned with sensual possessions, greedy, dazed by sensual pleasures, they don't awaken to the fact that they've gone too far — like fish into a trap set out. Afterwards it's bitter for them: evil for them the result.  |
