20.72

佛告比丘。毘婆尸佛時。有眾賈客入海取寶。大獲珍寶平安還到。選寶上者用施眾僧。顧俟僧食。僧受其寶。付授摩摩帝。於後僧食向盡。從其求索不與。眾僧苦索。摩摩帝瞋恚而語之言。汝曹噉屎。此寶屬我。何緣乃索。由其欺僧惡口罵故。身壞命終墮阿鼻地獄。身常宛轉沸屎之中。九十一劫。乃從獄出今墮此中。自從七佛已來。皆作其蟲。至賢劫千佛。各各皆爾。

The Buddha told the monks: 'In the time of Vipaśyin Buddha, there was a group of merchants who entered the sea to gather jewels. Having obtained great treasures, they returned safely. Selecting the finest of the jewels, they offered them to the saṃgha to provide for the saṃgha's meals. The saṃgha received the jewels and entrusted them to a monastery steward (māmaka). Later, when the saṃgha's provisions were running out, they asked him for them, but he would not give them. When the monks urgently demanded them, the steward grew angry and said to them: “You eat shit! These jewels belong to me; on what grounds do you demand them?” Because of his deceit of the saṃgha and his harsh scolding, when his body broke up and life ended, he fell into the Avīci Hell. His body constantly rolled about in boiling excrement for ninety-one kalpas. Then, emerging from hell, he fell into this place now. From the time of the seven Buddhas onward, he has always been this worm, and up to the thousand Buddhas of the Fortunate Kalpa, it will be so for each and every one.'
