1.57

The Buddha said: 'There is an arhat named Gavāmpati who, though having already attained the path of an arhat, chews like an ox.' A disciple asked the Buddha: 'Why is this?' The Buddha said: 'In a previous life of this monk's past lives, he was an ox for seven hundred lifetimes. In this life, he has attained the Way, but his residual habits have not yet been exhausted; hence this is so.'
