Verse 309:
Four misfortunes befall a man
who is unmindful of right conduct and
commit sexual misconduct with another man's wife:
acquisition of demerit, disturbed sleep, reproach, andsuffering in Hell.


Verse 310:
Thus, there is the acquisition of demerit, and
there is rebirth in the four lower realms.
The enjoyment of a scared man with a scared woman is short-lived, and the king also metes out severe punishment.

Therefore, a man should not commit misconduct with another man's wife.
