Thus dishonoured by them, he took bowl and robe and went to Jetavana. After saluting the Master, he said, "Sir, Sariputta and Moggallana are full of sinful desire, they are in the power of sinful desires!" The Master replied, "Say not so, Kokalika; let your heart, Kokalika, be in charity with Sariputta and Moggallana; learn that they are good Brethren." Kokalika said, "You believe in your two Chief Disciples, Sir; I have seen it with my own eyes; they have sinful desires, they have secrets within them, they are wicked men." So he said thrice (though the Master would have stayed him), then rose from his seat, and departed. Even as he went on his way there arose over all his body boils of the size of a mustard seed, grew and grew to the size of a ripe seed of the vilva tree , burst, ran blood all over him. Groaning he fell by the gate of Jetavana, maddened with pain. A great cry arose, and reached even to Brahma's world--"Kokalika has reviled the two Chief Disciples!" Then his spiritual teacher, the Brahma angel, Tudu by name, [245] learning the fact, came with the intent of appeasing the Elders, and said while poised in the air, "Kokalika, a cruel thing this you have done; make your peace with the Chief Disciples." "Who are you, brother?" the man asked. "Tudu Brahma, is my name," said he. "Have you not been declared by the Blessed One," said the man, "one of those who return not ? That word means that such come not back to this earth. You will become a goblin upon a dunghill!" Thus he upbraided the great Brahma angel. And as he could not persuade the man to do as he advised, he replied to him, "May you be tormented according to your own word." Then he returned to his abode of bliss. And Kokalika dying was born again in the Lotus Hell . That he had been born there the great and mighty Brahma Lord told to the Tathagata, and the Master told it to the Brethren. In the Hall of Truth the Brethren talked of the man's wickedness: "Brother, they say Kokalika reviled Sariputta and Moggallana, and by the words of his own mouth came to the Lotus Hell." The Master came in, and said he, "What speak ye of, Brethren, as ye sit here?" They told him. Then he said, "This is not the first time, Brethren, that Kokalika was destroyed by his own word, and out of his own mouth was condemned to misery; it was the same before." And he told them a story of the past.

Once upon a time, when Brahmadatta was king of Benares, his chaplain was tawny-brown and had lost all his teeth. His wife committed sin with another brahmin. This man was just like the other . The chaplain tried times and again to restrain his wife, but could not. Then he thought, "This my enemy I cannot kill with my own hands, but I must devise some plan to kill him."
