The novice was provoked and conceived a grudge against the Elder. He said to himself, "Yesterday, just because of a few drops of water, he called me a liar. To-day, just because I ate a fistful of food his supporter gave me, he said to me, 'You should not eat food which you got for another by hinting.' Besides that, he gave an entire set of robes to his other pupil. Oh, the Elder has treated me very badly! I shall find some way of getting even with him."

On the following day, when the Elder entered the village for alms, leaving him alone in the monastery, he took a stick, broke all the vessels used for eating and drinking, set fire to the Elder's hut of leaves and grass, smashed to pieces with a hammer everything that didn't burn, and ran away. When he died, he was reborn in the Great Hell of Avīci.
