For what cause and condition do I suffer such pain?" Maudgalyāyana replied, saying: "In your previous life, you were a village chieftain. Relying on your haughtiness and noble status, you drank wine uncontrollably, despising and mistreating others, seizing their food and drink, starving and distressing sentient beings. By this cause and condition, you receive such punishment. This is the flower retribution; the bitter fruit of the hells is yet to come." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 13.50](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.13.50) - [Next: 13.52](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.13.52) - [Up: 13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.13) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123~en-mt.13.51) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [法苑珠林](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.70.9) — 道世, Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.13.51](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.13.51) · Pramāṇa
