九橫經云。佛告比丘。有九因緣。命未盡便橫死。一不應飯而飯(謂食不可意。或蒲腹不調。更食)二不量食(不節)三不習食(謂往他處未知食性便強食)四不出食(謂食未消復食)五止熟(謂強制大小便)六不持戒(謂犯五戒。成疾及遭官法等)七近惡知識。八入里不時(謂非時入城市。及人家等。太早太夜)九可避不避(謂。奔牛。逸馬。馳車。醉人。惡大等)。

The Sūtra on the Nine Untimely Deaths says: The Buddha addressed the monks, 'There are nine causes and conditions by which one dies an untimely death before one's life is exhausted: first, eating what should not be eaten (meaning food that is unsuitable, or eating again when the stomach is unsettled); second, not measuring one's food (lacking moderation); third, eating unfamiliar food (meaning going to another place and forcing oneself to eat before knowing the nature of the food); fourth, not digesting food [before eating again] (meaning eating again before the previous food has digested); fifth, holding back what has matured (meaning forcibly suppressing urination and defecation); sixth, not upholding the precepts (meaning breaking the five precepts, falling ill, and meeting with legal punishments from the authorities, etc.); seventh, keeping company with bad acquaintances; eighth, entering villages at improper times (meaning entering cities, markets, and people's homes at improper times, either too early or too late at night); ninth, not avoiding what should be avoided (meaning galloping oxen, runaway horses, rushing carts, drunkards, fierce dogs, etc.).'
