【摩睺羅伽】亦云摩呼羅伽，此云大腹行。什曰：「是地龍而腹行也。」肇曰：「大蟒神腹行也。」《淨名疏》云：「即世間廟神。受人酒肉，悉入蟒腹。毀戒邪諂，多嗔少施，貪嗜酒肉。戒緩，墮鬼神；多嗔，蟲入其身而唼食之。亦名莫呼洛。諸經云人非人者，天台云此乃結八部數爾。」

> \[Mahoraga\] Also called mohuluojia; translated here as "crawling on a great belly." Kumārajīva said: "They are earth dragons that crawl on their bellies." Sengzhao said: "Great python spirits that crawl on their bellies." The Commentary on the Vimalakīrtinirdeśa states: "They are the worldly temple deities. Receiving people's liquor and meat, it all enters the python's belly. Breaking the precepts with deviant flattery, having much wrath and little giving, they covet and indulge in liquor and meat. Being lax in precepts, they fall among ghosts and spirits; having much wrath, insects enter their bodies and feed on them. Also called mohuluo. As for the various sūtras calling them 'human-yet-non-humans,' Tiantai states that this is merely concluding the count of the eight classes."
