18.48

第六復有眾生。腹大項細不能下食。若有所食變為膿血。何罪所致。佛言。以前世時。偷盜僧食。或為大會福食屏處偷噉。悋惜己物但貪他財。常行惡心與人毒藥。氣息不通。故獲斯罪。

"Sixth, there are sentient beings whose bellies are huge and whose necks are thin, unable to swallow food. If they eat anything, it turns into pus and blood. What sin brought this about?" The Buddha said: "In their past lives, they stole the saṃgha's food, or secretly ate food meant for great merit-making gatherings in hidden places; they begrudged their own possessions and only coveted the wealth of others, constantly harboring malicious intent and giving people poison so that their breath was cut off. Therefore they incurred this sinful retribution."
