What is the cause and condition for this?' Maudgalyāyana answered, saying: 'In your previous life, you were constantly an executioner's disciple. When killing people, you constantly felt joy in your heart, tying a rope to their topknot and dragging it. Due to these causes and conditions, you suffer this kind of punishment. This is the flower retribution of evil deeds; the bitter fruit of hell lies yet ahead.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 70.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.70.5) - [Next: 70.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.70.7) - [Up: 70](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.70) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122~en-mt.70.6) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [諸經要集](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.13.49) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.70.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.70.6) · Pramāṇa
