Answer
I believe you mean Mrigaputra in the Dukh Vipak section of the Vipak Sutra. The text presents him as an example of the painful ripening of bad karma. It says he was born blind, deaf, dumb, lame, and deformed, with constant suffering, foul smell, and discharge of blood and pus. The account also says that because of his past sinful deeds, he had first gone to hell and then was born as Mrigaputra. ( jainqq.org)Explanation
The story teaches that harmful actions do not end with the action itself. In this chapter, violence, cruelty, exploitation, and other sinful conduct are shown to bring misery in the present life and in future births. Mrigaputra is used as a vivid example of how bad karma becomes suffering. ( jainqq.org)Consequences of killing / violence
According to the teaching reflected here, the consequences of killing and violent conduct can include:- hellish birth
- bodily deformity
- serious disease and pain
- birth in miserable conditions
- long chains of suffering through many rebirths ( jainqq.org)
