This was because, prior to those seven lifetimes, he had once offered a meal to a pratyekabuddha; by the power of that merit, he was prevented from falling into the evil destinies for seven lifetimes. However, the sinful karma of butchery that this man committed throughout those seven lifetimes, after the seven lifetimes had passed, was received successively without any escape. Both good and evil are like this.
