又菩薩處胎經云。緊那羅住須彌山北。過小鐵圍有大黑山。亦在十寶山間。無有佛法日月星辰。由昔布施之力。今居七寶宮殿壽命甚長。此王本人中有大長者。興造佛塔。此緊那羅施一剎柱成辦寺廟。復以淨食施於工匠。壽盡作胸臆神。在兩山間。先在人中為大長者。居財無量。有一沙門乞食。婦擎飯施之。乃大瞋怒。云何乞人瞻視我婦。當令此人手脚斷壞。壽終以後受此醜形。八十四劫常無手足。諸天醼會皆悉與乾闥婆分番上下。天欲奏樂而其腋下汗流。便自上天。有一緊那羅名頭婁磨。琴歌諸法實相以讚世尊。時須彌山及諸林樹皆悉震動。迦葉在座不能自安。五百仙人心生狂醉失其神足。

The Bodhisattvagharbhastha Sūtra also states: The kiṃnaras dwell north of Mount Sumeru; beyond the Minor Cakravāḍa there is a Great Black Mountain, also situated amid the Ten Jewel Mountains. There is no Buddhadharma, sun, moon, or stars there. Due to the power of their past dāna, they now dwell in palaces of the seven treasures and their lifespans are exceedingly long. This king had formerly been a great elder among humans who erected a Buddha stūpa; this kiṃnara donated a central mast, thereby completing the monastery, and furthermore provided pure food to the artisans. When his life ended, he became a chest-spirit between the two mountains. Earlier, while among humans as a great elder of immeasurable wealth, a śramaṇa begged for food, and his wife carried the rice to give it in alms. He flew into a great rage, saying: 'Why does this beggar look upon my wife? I shall cause this person's hands and feet to be broken off!' After his life ended, he received this ugly form, being constantly without hands or feet for eighty-four kalpas. At the banquets of the devas, they take turns going up and down with the gandharvas. When the devas wish to perform music, sweat flows from their armpits, and they naturally ascend to the heavens. There was a kiṃnara named Drumila, who sang to the zither of the dharmatā of all phenomena to praise the World-Honoured One. At that time, Mount Sumeru and the forest trees all trembled and shook; Kāśyapa could not keep still on his seat; five hundred ṛṣis were driven wild and intoxicated in heart, losing their supernatural feet.
