For what reason is it so?' Maudgalyāyana replied: 'In your past life, you committed adultery with another man's woman, always fearing that someone would see you, or fearing that her husband would seize, bind, beat, and kill you, or fearing that the state authorities would execute you in the market square. Terrors followed one after another.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 57.26](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.57.26) - [Next: 57.28](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.57.28) - [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.57.27) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (2) - [經律異相](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2121.46.61) — Classical Chinese - [佛說雜藏經](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.avadana.ksudrakapitakasutra*zh-faxian.1.34) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.57.27](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.57.27) · Pramāṇa
