"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."
