In the time of Kāśyapa Buddha, he was an ordained novice who was in charge of portioning out rock sugar for the Saṃgha by chopping it into pieces. When a little rock sugar adhered to the axe blade, the novice licked it. Therefore, he suffers the pain of having his tongue chopped, without ceasing down to the present day.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 92.30](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.92.30) - [Next: 92.32](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.92.32) - [Up: 92](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.92) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122~en-mt.92.31) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.92.31](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.92.31) · Pramāṇa
