The second kuśūla you saw was not truly a granary; it is a denizen of hell. In the time of Kāśyapa Buddha, he was a monastic who served as the karmadāna distributing goods in the sangha's monastery. He shifted goods meant for the spring distribution to the summer distribution, and clothes and goods of the summer distribution he held back to distribute in the winter distribution. Therefore, he entered hell, where he became a flesh kuśūla burned by fire, suffering pain without respite even to this day.
