大方便佛報恩經 3.50

3.50

佛告阿難：「爾時女者，鹿母夫人是。以其一食，淨華覆上，施辟支佛，五百世中尊榮豪貴，衣食自然，蓮華承足。願力因緣，今得值五百辟支佛禮事供養。爾時以一惡言，不知其恩，毀罵其母，喻如畜生，以是惡口因緣，五百身中生鹿腹中。」

The Buddha told Ānanda: “The girl at that time was Lady Mṛgāra. Because she gave a single meal with pure flowers covering it to the pratyekabuddha, for five hundred lives she was honored, noble, and wealthy, food and clothing came naturally to her, and lotus flowers supported her feet. By the causes and conditions of the power of her vow, she has now met five hundred pratyekabuddhas, worshiping and making offerings to them. At that time, because of a single evil word—failing to recognize her mother’s kindness and reviling her by comparing her to a beast—due to the causes and conditions of this harsh speech, for five hundred lifetimes she was born in the womb of a deer.”
