Sūkarapeta.—A peta who lived on Gijjhakūṭa. His body was human, but his head was that of a pig; out of his mouth grew a tail, and from the tail oozed maggots. Moggallāna saw him and reported the matter to the Buddha. The Buddha said that he, too, had seen the peta. In a previous birth he had been a preacher of the Law, but, wishing to obtain possession of a monastery which he visited, he brought about dissension between the two monks who had lived there on the friendliest terms. After death he suffered in Avīci for a whole Buddhantara, and was reborn in the peta-world.¹ - [Previous: v2.c36.4805](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.4805) - [Next: v2.c36.4807](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.4807) - [Up: v2.c36](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.4806](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.4806) · Pramāṇa
