第十三復有眾生。攣躄背僂腰臗不隨。脚跛手拘不能採涉。何罪所致。佛言。以前世時。坐為人野田行道安槍。或安射窠施張弶穽。陷墜眾生頭破脚折。傷損非一。故獲斯罪。

"Thirteenth, there are sentient beings who are crippled, hunchbacked, and paralyzed in their loins and hips, lame in their legs and contracted in their hands, unable to walk about. What sin brought this about?" The Buddha said: "In their past lives, it was due to setting wooden spikes along roads through wild fields, or setting shooting hides and spreading snares and pit traps, plunging sentient beings into them to break their heads and snap their legs, inflicting injuries of more than one kind. Therefore they incurred this sinful retribution."
