復有一鬼,白目連言:「我一生來,有二熱鐵輪在兩腋下,舉身焦爛。何罪所致?」目連答言:「汝前世時與眾作餅,盜取二番挾兩腋下,以是因緣故獲斯罪。此是華報,果在地獄。」復有一鬼,白目連言:「我常以物自幪籠頭,畏人來殺心常怖懼。何罪所致?」目連答言:「汝前世時婬犯外色,常畏人見,或畏夫主捉縛打殺,常懷恐怖故受此罪。此是華報,果在地獄。」

There was another ghost who said to Maudgalyāyana: “Ever since I was born, there have been two glowing iron wheels beneath my armpits, burning my entire body to a crisp. What sin caused this?”
Maudgalyāyana answered, saying: “In your past life, you made cakes for the saṅgha and stole two batches, tucking them under your two armpits. Because of these causes and conditions, you incurred this retribution. This is the flower retribution; the fruit will be in hell.”
There was another ghost who said to Maudgalyāyana: “I always use an object to wrap and cover my head, fearing people will come to kill me, my mind constantly terrified. What sin caused this?”
Maudgalyāyana answered, saying: “In your past life, you committed adultery with outside women, constantly fearing people would see you, or fearing their husbands would seize, bind, beat, and kill you; because you constantly harbored terror, you received this retribution. This is the flower retribution; the fruit will be in hell.”
