麻城一富僧碧璠。曾捐百金。助村民築塞。保衛一方徒無窮欲受戒。璠不許。徒夜走至杏巖和尚處稟戒。而回碧璠一見大怒。裂碎三衣撲破瓦鉢。當晚方睡即見韋駄尊天。震怒痛罵云。汝是何人敢毀如來法器耶。立欲以寶杵擊之。璠叩頭求懺。韋天曰。念汝修塞有功。姑去一臂。以杵輕輕向右臂一點。璠狂叫而醒數日內忽右臂暗消。止長七八寸手拳如小橘。懸肩上至今師徒皆在焉（現果隨錄）。

In Macheng, a wealthy monk named Bifan once donated a hundred pieces of gold to help the villagers build a stronghold to defend the area. His disciple Wuqiong wished to receive the precepts, but Bifan would not allow it. At night, the disciple slipped away to Venerable Xingyan's place to receive the precepts and returned. When Bifan saw him, he flew into a rage, ripped the three robes to shreds, and smashed the earthen alms bowl. That evening, just as he fell asleep, he saw the Heavenly Lord Weituo, who shouted in fury and rebuked him harshly: 'Who are you to dare destroy the Dharma vessels of the Tathāgata?' He prepared to strike him with his jeweled pestle. Bifan kowtowed and begged for repentance. Lord Weituo said: 'Considering your merit in building the stronghold, I shall only take one of your arms for now.' He lightly tapped his right arm with the pestle. Bifan awoke screaming madly. Within several days, his right arm secretly withered away, measuring only seven or eight inches long, with the hand curled like a small tangerine and hanging from his shoulder. To this day, both master and disciple are still alive (from the Xinguo suilu).
