One of Bimbisára's judges, who was a cheat, a slanderer, and a taker of bribes, once observed the fast for half a day through a friend's persuasion. He died that night and was born as a Vemánika-peta. He enjoyed divine pleasures, but was condemned to eat the flesh off his own back in expiation of his evil deeds.
Nárada saw this peta and reported his story to the Buddha. Pv.iii.9; PvA.209f.
