16.373

言令憶念故，遂為現彼相似身者，若有眾生殺牛，將生地獄執到法王所，焰摩作彼所殺牛告彼人言：汝先殺我所作惡業，今當受於此地獄苦，令彼追憶先世惡業生悔心，故問，執到王所為當中有為死有耶？

Regarding the statement 'in order to make them recollect, he then manifests a body resembling that': If a sentient being killed an ox, upon being about to be born in hell, they are seized and brought to the place of the Dharma King; Yama manifests as that killed ox and speaks to that person, saying, 'You previously killed me; by the evil karma committed, you must now undergo the suffering of this hell,' causing them to recollect the evil karma of a former life and give rise to repentance. It is asked: When seized and brought to the king's place, is it during the intermediate existence or the death-existence?
