The Dhammapada story of those who suffered for their evil deeds. Once, the Venerable Maha Moggallana was coming down the Gijjhakuta hill with Venerable Lakkhana for the alms-round in Rajagaha, he saw some petas with skeleton. He smiled but said nothing. When asked by the Venerable Lakkhana, the Venerable Maha Moggallana replied, not a time to ask, please ask in the presence of the Buddha. When they were in the presence of the Buddha, the Venerable Maha Moggallana told Venerable Lakkhana that he had seen a peta who was just a skeleton. Then he added that he had also seen five bhikkhus with their bodies burning in flames. On hearing the statement about those bhikkhus, the Buddha said, "During the time of Kassapa Buddha, those bhikkhus had done much evil. For those evil deeds they had suffered in niraya and now they are serving out the remaining term of suffering as petas."
