90.13

又涅槃經云。猶如大海不宿死屍。如鴛鴦鳥不住圊廁。釋提桓因不與鬼住。鳩翅羅鳥不栖枯樹。破戒之人亦復如是。

Furthermore, the Nirvāṇa Sūtra says: 'Just as the great ocean does not harbour a corpse, just as the mandarin duck does not dwell in a privy, just as Śakra Devānām Indra does not live with ghosts, and just as the kokila bird does not perch on a withered tree, so too is a person who has broken the precepts.'
