Commentary for Avodah Zarah 129:4

עד דיתבי אתא ההוא פריסתקא דמלכא א"ל קום דקבעי לך מלכא כי נפיק ואזיל א"ל עינא דבעי למיחזי לכו בישותא תיפקע א"ל רבא אמן פקע עיניה דבר שישך

While they were sitting together, the king’s official arrived with the message, “Arise, the king requires your presence.” As he was departing [Bar-Sheshak] said to [Rava], “May the eye burst that wishes to see evil to you!’ To this Rava responded, “Amen,” and Bar-Sheshak’s eye burst.
