Description of manuscript content:
The text mentions about anyone who commits an anantariya-kamma (heinous crimes which bring immediate, uninterrupted and uninterruptible results) will go to the hill called Avīci Naraka, the lowest level of the hell realm with the most suffering. The five different actions which each constitute an anantariya-kamma are the only actions which can produce a definite result. The five crimes are: (1) Intentionally murdering one’s father; (2) Intentionally murdering one’s mother; (3) Killing an Arhat (fully enlightened being; (4) Shedding the blood of a Buddha; and (5) Creating a schism within the Sangha, the community of monks.
