92.29

汝見大甕者。迦葉佛時。是出家人為僧典果菜。香美好者。先自食噉。酢果澁菜。然後與僧。或逐隨意選好者與。以不平等故入地獄作大肉甕。火燒受苦。至今不息。

'The great urn you saw—in the time of Kāśyapa Buddha, he was a renunciant who had charge of fruits and vegetables for the Saṃgha. The fragrant, delicious, and fine items he first ate himself, and gave the sour fruits and bitter vegetables to the Saṃgha afterward, or arbitrarily selected the fine ones to give [to his favourites]. Because of his unfairness, he entered hell and became a great urn of flesh, burned by fire and enduring suffering without ceasing down to the present day.'
