The Hundred-Heads is a fish created by a hundred ill tempered words uttered in
the course of an otherwise blameless life. A Chinese biography of the Buddha
tells that he once met some fishermen who were dragging in a net. After much
toil they hauled up onto the shore a huge fish with one head of an ape,
another of a dog, another of a horse, another of a fox, another of a hog,
another of a tiger, and so on, up to one hundred. The Buddha asked the fish:
«Are you Kapila?»
«Yes, I am,» the Hundred-Heads answered before dying.
The Buddha explained to his disciples that in a previous incarnation Kapila
was a Brahman who had become a monk and whose knowledge of the holy texts was
unrivaled. Upon occasion, when his fellow students misread a word, Kapila
would call them ape-head, dog-head, horse-head, and so forth. After his death,
the karma of those many insults caused him to be reborn as a sea monster,
weighed down by all the heads he had bestowed upon his companions.
