18.52

第十復有眾生。常在雪山中寒風所吹。皮肉剝裂求死不得。何罪所致。佛言。以前世時。坐橫道作賊。剝脫人衣。使冬月之日令他凍死。生㓟牛羊痛不可堪。故獲斯罪。

"Tenth, there are sentient beings who are constantly in snowy mountains blown by freezing winds, their skin and flesh cracked and peeling, seeking death but unable to die. What sin brought this about?" The Buddha said: "In their past lives, it was due to lying in wait on the roads as robbers, stripping people of their clothing and causing them to freeze to death during the winter months, and flaying cattle and sheep alive with unbearable pain. Therefore they incurred this sinful retribution."
