又新婆沙論云。昔有暴惡者。令母執器自𤛓牛乳。𤛓便過量。母止之言。餘者可留以乳犢子。其人既聞忽生瞋忿。以手掬乳散其母面。隨著母身。乳滴多少。惡業力故。即令彼人身上還生爾所白癩。

Furthermore, the New Mahāvibhāṣā-śāstra states: In the past, there was a violent and evil man who ordered his mother to hold a vessel while he himself milked a cow. Having milked beyond measure, his mother stopped him, saying, 'The remainder should be left to nurse the calf.' When the man heard this, he suddenly gave rise to anger and resentment, scooped up milk with his hand, and splashed it onto his mother's face. In proportion to the number of milk drops that landed on his mother's body, through the power of his evil karma, that man immediately broke out in that very number of white leprous sores all over his own body.
