92.57

The flesh mountain you saw is a denizen of hell. In the time of Kāśyapa Buddha, he was a monastic who served as the sangha's cook without possessing the five virtues. Relying on his slight prestige and power, he stole the goods of the sangha and cut off clothing meant for the sangha. Therefore, he entered hell, where he became a great flesh mountain burned by fire, suffering pain without respite even to this day.
