Pot Balls Kumbhaṇḍasutta

“Just now, reverend, as I was descending from Vulture’s Peak Mountain I saw a man with testicles big as pots flying through the air. “Idhāhaṁ, āvuso, gijjhakūṭā pabbatā orohanto addasaṁ kumbhaṇḍaṁ purisaṁ vehāsaṁ gacchantaṁ. When he was walking he had to lift his testicles on to his shoulder. So gacchantopi teva aṇḍe khandhe āropetvā gacchati. And when he sat down, he sat right on them. Nisīdantopi tesveva aṇḍesu nisīdati. Vultures, crows, and hawks kept chasing him, pecking and clawing Tamenaṁ gijjhāpi kākāpi kulalāpi anupatitvā anupatitvā vitacchenti virājenti. as he screamed in pain. …” … So sudaṁ aṭṭassaraṁ karoti …pe…

“That being used to be a corrupt village head right here in Rājagaha. …” eso, bhikkhave, satto imasmiṁyeva rājagahe gāmakūṭako ahosi …pe….

Dasamaṁ.

Paṭhamo vaggo.

Aṭṭhi pesi ubho gāvaghātakā, Piṇḍo sākuṇiyo nicchavorabbhi; Asi sūkariko sattimāgavi, Usu kāraṇiko sūci sārathi; Yo ca sibbiyati sūcako hi so, Aṇḍabhāri ahu gāmakūṭakoti.
