Then the mendicant Kokālika went up to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and said to him,
6

“पापिच्छा,pā·pic·chā भन्ते,bhan·te सारिपुत्तमोग्गल्लानाsā·ri·put·ta·mog·gal·lā·nā पापिकानंpā·pi·kā·naṃ इच्छानंic·chā·naṃ वसंva·saṃ गता”ति।ga·tā

“Sir, Sāriputta and Moggallāna have corrupt wishes. They’ve fallen under the sway of corrupt wishes.”

For a second time Kokālika said to the Buddha,
11

“किञ्चापिkiñ·cā·pi मे,me भन्ते,bhan·te भगवाbha·ga·vā सद्धायिकोsad·dhā·yi·ko पच्चयिको;pac·ca·yi·ko अथa·tha खोkho पापिच्छावpā·pic·chā·va भन्ते,bhan·te सारिपुत्तमोग्गल्लानाsā·ri·put·ta·mog·gal·lā·nā पापिकानंpā·pi·kā·naṃ इच्छानंic·chā·naṃ वसंva·saṃ गता”ति।ga·tā

“Despite my faith and trust in the Buddha, Sāriputta and Moggallāna have corrupt wishes. They’ve fallen under the sway of corrupt wishes.”

Then Kokālika rose from his seat, bowed, and respectfully circled the Buddha, keeping him on his right, before leaving.

Not long after he left his body erupted with boils the size of mustard seeds.

The boils grew to the size of mung beans, then chickpeas, then jujube seeds, then jujubes, then myrobalans, then unripe wood-apples, then ripe wood-apples. Finally they burst open, and pus and blood oozed out.

He was reborn in the Pink Lotus hell because of his resentment for Sāriputta and Moggallāna.

Then, late at night, the glorious divinity Sahampati, lighting up the entire Jeta’s Grove, went up to the Buddha, bowed, stood to one side, and said to him,
26

“कोकालिको,ko·kā·li·ko भन्ते,bhan·te भिक्खुbhik·khu कालङ्कतो।kā·laṅ·ka·to

“kokāliko, bhante, bhikkhu kālaṅkato.

“Sir, the mendicant Kokālika has passed away.

Then he bowed and respectfully circled the Buddha, keeping him on his right, before vanishing right there.

Then, when the night had passed, the Buddha told the mendicants all that had happened.
