A Flayed Woman

“Idhāhaṁ, āvuso, gijjhakūṭā pabbatā orohanto addasaṁ nicchaviṁ itthiṁ vehāsaṁ gacchantiṁ.  “Just now, reverend, as I was descending from Vulture’s Peak Mountain I saw a flayed woman flying through the air.
Tamenaṁ gijjhāpi kākāpi kulalāpi anupatitvā anupatitvā vitacchenti virājenti.  Vultures, crows, and hawks kept chasing her, pecking and clawing
Sā sudaṁ aṭṭassaraṁ karoti …pe…  as she screamed in pain. …” …

esā, bhikkhave, itthī imasmiṁyeva rājagahe aticārinī ahosi …pe….  “That woman used to be an adulteress right here in Rājagaha. …”

Tatiyaṁ.
