“Idhāhaṁ, āvuso, gijjhakūṭā pabbatā orohanto addasaṁ sūcilomaṁ purisaṁ vehāsaṁ gacchantaṁ. “Just now, reverend, as I was descending from Vulture’s Peak Mountain I saw a man whose body hairs were needles flying through the air.
Tassa tā sūciyo sīse pavisitvā mukhato nikkhamanti; The needles bored into his head and out his mouth,
mukhe pavisitvā urato nikkhamanti; into his mouth and out his chest,
ure pavisitvā udarato nikkhamanti; into his chest and out his belly,
udare pavisitvā ūrūhi nikkhamanti; into his belly and out his thighs,
ūrūsu pavisitvā jaṅghāhi nikkhamanti; into his thighs and out his calves,
jaṅghāsu pavisitvā pādehi nikkhamanti; and into his calves and out his feet.
so sudaṁ aṭṭassaraṁ karoti …pe… And he screamed in pain. …” …
eso, bhikkhave, satto imasmiṁyeva rājagahe sūcako ahosi …pe…. “That being used to be an informant right here in Rājagaha. …”
Navamaṁ.
