In Buddhism
Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper NamesLong ago, many virtuous seers lived in huts on the seashore. At that time there was a war between the gods and the Asuras. The seers considered the gods righteous but feared harm from the Asuras. They went, therefore, to Sambara, lord of the Asuras, and asked him for a pledge of safety; he refused, saying that the seers were followers of Sakka. The seers thereupon cursed him to suffer everlasting terror. It is said that that same night Sambara woke up thrice, seized with fright (S.i.227-8).
Buddhaghosa (SA.i.266) adds that as a result of this curse, Sambaras mind became deranged and he came to be called Vepacitti (crazy nerve).
Theravāda is a major branch of Buddhism having the the Pali canon (tipitaka) as their canonical literature, which includes the vinaya-pitaka (monastic rules), the sutta-pitaka (Buddhist sermons) and the abhidhamma-pitaka (philosophy and psychology).
