Dhammapada 17 [Khuddaka Nikaya]


I- Yamakavagga, The Pairs
12- Devadatta Vatthu

Idha tappati pecca tappati, papakari ubhayattha tappati;
papam me katanti tappati, bhiyyo tappati duggatim gato.

17: Here he is tormented, hereafter he is tormented; the evil-doer is tormented in both existences. He is tormented, and he laments: "Evil have I done." He is even more tormented when he is reborn in one of the lower worlds (Apaya).
