Charnel Ground Dwellers Sosānikasutta

“Mendicants, these five dwell in a charnel ground. “Pañcime, bhikkhave, sosānikā. What five? Katame pañca? One may dwell in a charnel ground because of stupidity … corrupt wishes … madness … because it is praised by the Buddhas … or for the sake of having few wishes … Mandattā momūhattā sosāniko hoti …pe… idamatthitaṁyeva nissāya sosāniko hoti. These are the five who dwell in a charnel ground.” Ime kho, bhikkhave, pañca sosānikā”ti.

Catutthaṁ.
