57.20

復有一鬼言。常有二熱鐵輪在我兩腋下轉。身體焦爛。何因故爾。目連答言。汝前世時與眾僧作餅。盜心取二番挾兩腋底。故受此苦。

Another ghost said: 'Two hot iron wheels constantly spin under my two armpits, searing and charring my body. For what reason is it so?' Maudgalyāyana replied: 'In your past life, when you made cakes for the saṃgha, you took two of them with a mind of theft and clamped them under your armpits. Therefore you suffer this torment.'
