身長多懼　以髮纏身　衣裳垢圿
從餓鬼來　淫泆慳貪　嫉彼所得
不好惠施　從餓鬼來　不孝父母
家室大小　動則諍訟　從餓鬼來
不信至誠　所行趣為　薄力少知
從餓鬼來　聲壞響塞　卒興瞋恚
食便好熱　從餓鬼來　恒乏財貨
空貧匱陋　智者所嗤　從餓鬼來
門不事佛　不好聞法　永絕天路
從餓鬼來　不教妻子　兄弟姊妹
人所憎嫉　從餓鬼來　生則孤裸
無人瞻視　終歸未受　不離宿緣
意志褊狹　不好榮飾　所行醜陋
從餓鬼來　所為不獲　所作事煩
人所驅逐　從餓鬼來　惑事喜敗
不審根原　不受人諫　從餓鬼來
不樂靜處　喜居廁溷　顏貌臭穢
從風神來　身大喜好　喜貪食肉
獨樂神祠　從閱叉來　健瞋合鬪
見物貪著　無有患忘　從閱叉來
見者毛竪　直前熟視　如似所失
從羅剎來　體狹皮薄　顏色和悅
聞樂喜欣　乾沓和來　意好輕飄
香熏自塗　多諸伎術　乾沓和來
恒喜歌舞　男女所傳　先語後笑
甄陀中來　情性柔耎　曉了時節
能斷漏結　真陀羅來　此餓鬼相
閱叉羅剎
