14.7

又鼻柰耶律云。昔佛在世時。舍衛國中有一婆羅門。常供養迦留陀夷羅漢比丘。婆羅門唯一子。長為取婦。時婆羅門。臨終勅子。吾死之後。汝看尊者迦留陀夷。如我今日莫使有乏。父母亡後。子奉父母教。還復供養迦留陀夷。如父在日等無有異。後於異時。婆羅門子。出行不在。囑婦供養。是日便有五百群賊。中有一賊面首端正。婦遙見之遣使喚來。便共私通。迦留陀夷數往其家。婦恐沙門漏泄此事。後共此賊方便殺之。波斯匿王。聞於尊者迦留陀夷為賊所殺。王憶尊者瞋恚懊惱。即時便誅婆羅門家。并殺左右十八餘家。捕五百賊。斬截首足。擲著塹中。比丘見已而白佛言。迦留陀夷。本造何惡。為婆羅門婦所殺耶。佛告比丘。迦留陀夷乃往過去。作大天祀主。有五百人。牽其一羊截於四足。將詣天祀而共乞願。祀主得已即便殺之。由殺羊故。墮於地獄受無量苦。昔天祀主。今迦留陀夷是。雖得羅漢。餘殃不盡今得此報。爾時羊者。今婦是也。昔五百人截羊足者。今日為王截其手足五百賊是。佛告比丘。若人殺害。所受果報。終不朽敗。

Furthermore, the Vinaya of the Dharmaguptakas says: 'In the past, when the Buddha was in the world, there was a householder in the city of Śrāvastī who constantly made offerings to the arhat monk Kālodayin. The householder had only one son, and when he grew up, took a wife for him. When the householder was near death, he instructed his son: "After I die, you must attend to the Venerable Kālodayin just as I do today, and do not let him lack anything." After the parents passed away, the son upheld the parents' instruction and again made offerings to Kālodayin, with no difference from when his father was alive. Later, at another time, the householder's son went out on travel and was away, entrusting his wife to make the offerings. On that day, there was a band of five hundred thieves. Among them was a thief whose face was handsome. Seeing him from afar, the wife sent a messenger to call him over, and then engaged in an illicit affair with him. Because Kālodayin frequently went to their home, the wife feared that the śramaṇa would disclose this matter, and later, together with this thief, devised a way to murder him. When King Prasenajit heard that the Venerable Kālodayin had been murdered by a thief, the king, remembering the Venerable One, was enraged and distraught; he immediately executed the householder's family, and also killed over eighteen neighboring households, captured the five hundred thieves, cut off their heads and feet, and threw them into the moat. The monks, having seen this, said to the Buddha: "What evil did Kālodayin commit in the past that caused him to be murdered by the householder's wife?" The Buddha told the monks: "In the distant past, Kālodayin was the master of a great deva shrine. Five hundred men led a single sheep, severed its four legs, and brought it to the deva shrine to make a vow together. Once the shrine master obtained it, he slaughtered it. Because of slaughtering the sheep, he fell into hell and underwent immeasurable suffering. The shrine master of that time is now Kālodayin. Although he attained the status of an arhat, the residue of his calamity was not yet exhausted, so now he received this retribution. The sheep at that time is now this wife. The five hundred men who severed the sheep's legs at that time are the five hundred thieves whose hands and feet were severed by the king today." The Buddha told the monks: "When a person commits slaughter, the karmic retribution received never perishes."'
