Using spells, \[someone\] questioned the ghost: "Why do you torment another woman?" The ghost answered: "This woman is my enemy; for five hundred lifetimes she constantly killed me, and for five hundred lifetimes I also cut short her life-faculty. If she can abandon her heart of ancient grudge, I too can abandon it." At that time, the woman said: "I have now abandoned my grudgeful mind." The ghost observed the woman: though her mouth spoke of abandoning it, her mind did not let it go; thereupon, the ghost severed her life. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 57.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.57.12) - [Next: 57.14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.57.14) - [Up: 57](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.57) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122~en-mt.57.13) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (2) - [阿毘曇毘婆沙論](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.darsana.abhidharma.sarvastivada.jnanaprasthana!abhidharmavibhasasastra*zh-futuobamo.7.14) — Classical Chinese - [經律異相](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2121.46.43) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.57.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.57.13) · Pramāṇa
