1.1“Idhāhaṁ, āvuso, gijjhakūṭā pabbatā orohanto addasaṁ sāmaṇeriṁ vehāsaṁ gacchantiṁ.“Just now, reverend, as I was descending from Vulture’s Peak Mountain I saw a novice nun flying through the air.1.2Tassā saṅghāṭipi ādittā sampajjalitā sajotibhūtā, pattopi āditto sampajjalito sajotibhūto, kāyabandhanampi ādittaṁ sampajjalitaṁ sajotibhūtaṁ, kāyopi āditto sampajjalito sajotibhūto.Her outer robe, bowl, belt, and body were burning, blazing, and glowing1.3Sā sudaṁ aṭṭassaraṁ karoti.as she screamed in pain.1.4Tassa mayhaṁ, āvuso, etadahosi:It occurred to me:1.5‘acchariyaṁ vata bho, abbhutaṁ vata bho.‘Oh lord, how incredible, how amazing!1.6Evarūpopi nāma satto bhavissati.That there can be such a sentient being,1.7Evarūpopi nāma yakkho bhavissati.such a spirit,1.8Evarūpopi nāma attabhāvapaṭilābho bhavissatī’”ti.such an incarnation!’”

2.1PTS 2.262Atha kho bhagavā bhikkhū āmantesi:Then the Buddha said to the mendicants:

2.2“cakkhubhūtā vata, bhikkhave, sāvakā viharanti;“Mendicants, there are disciples who live full of vision and knowledge,2.3ñāṇabhūtā vata, bhikkhave, sāvakā viharanti, yatra hi nāma sāvako evarūpaṁ ñassati vā dakkhati vā sakkhiṁ vā karissati.since a disciple knows, sees, and witnesses such a thing.

2.4Pubbeva me sā, bhikkhave, sāmaṇerī diṭṭhā ahosi.Formerly, I too saw that novice nun, but I did not speak of it.2.5Api cāhaṁ na byākāsiṁ.2.6Ahañcetaṁ byākareyyaṁ, pare ca me na saddaheyyuṁ.For if I had spoken of it others would not have believed me,2.7Ye me na saddaheyyuṁ, tesaṁ taṁ assa dīgharattaṁ ahitāya dukkhāya.which would be for their lasting harm and suffering.

2.8Esā, bhikkhave, sāmaṇerī kassapassa sammāsambuddhassa pāvacane pāpasāmaṇerī ahosi.That female novice used to be a bad novice nun in the time of the Buddha Kassapa’s dispensation.2.9Sā tassa kammassa vipākena bahūni vassāni bahūni vassasatāni bahūni vassasahassāni bahūni vassasatasahassāni niraye paccitvā tasseva kammassa vipākāvasesena evarūpaṁ attabhāvapaṭilābhaṁ paṭisaṁvedayatī”ti.As a result of that deed she burned in hell for many years, many hundreds, many thousands, many hundreds of thousands of years. Now she experiences the residual result of that deed in such an incarnation.”
