6.112

Upāli again said to the Buddha: "If one does not obtain them, as the 'Carmavastu' says: 'Koṭīkarṇa in the wilderness saw various hungry ghosts experiencing various retribution for crimes: some experienced blessings by day and suffered retribution by night, while others experienced blessings by night and suffered retribution by day. The reason for this was that when originally among humans, they received the precepts by day and did evil by night, or received the precepts by night and did evil by day; hence they were not the same.' What is the meaning of this?"
