As a result of the remaining effect of that bad deed, Devadatta threw a piece of rock at the Buddha. Along with a few other cousins, Davadatta ordained as a monk under the Buddha and soon developed supernormal powers through advanced meditation. However, he could not progress on the path of liberation and decided to ask the Buddha to retire and appoint him as the head of the order of monks. The Buddha refused his request which made him an enemy of the Buddha and he plotted to kill the Buddha. Having failed to kill the Buddha through a paid assassin, Devadatta decided to kill the Buddha himself. While the Buddha was walking on the Vultures Peak in Rajagaha, he climbed up and threw down a piece of rock at the Buddha. The rock hit another rock on its way down and a splinter fell on the foot of the Buddha injuring a big toe. (Cv.VII:3.9-10)  One time eying wealth I murdered brother by a second mother. I put them on a mountain road and crushed them in an avalanche.[3355] As a result of that karma, Devadatta threw a boulder and a splinter off that boulder then crushed the big toe on my foot.
