18.59

"Seventeenth, there are sentient beings who lack male organs and are eunuchs, never marrying throughout their lives. What sin brought this about?" The Buddha said: "In their past lives, it was due to castrating elephants, horses, cattle, sheep, pigs, and dogs, leaving them to die and revive again. Therefore they incurred this sinful retribution."
