佛說佛名經 17.85

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [17.85](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.441.17.85)

「夫論作罪之人，命終之後，牛頭獄卒錄其精神，在閻羅王所辯窮是非。當爾之時，一切怨對皆來證據，各言：『汝先屠戮我身炮煮蒸炙。』或言：『汝先剝奪於我一切財寶離我眷屬，我於今者始得汝便。』於時現前證據何得敢諱，唯應甘心分受宿殃，如經所明地獄之中不枉治人。

> "Now, regarding those who commit sins: after their life ends, ox-headed hell wardens record their consciousnesses, and before King Yama their right and wrong are thoroughly investigated. At that time, all their adversaries and victims come to testify, each saying: 'You previously slaughtered my body, boiling, roasting, steaming, and grilling it.' Or they say: 'You previously stripped away all my wealth and treasures, separating me from my relatives; only today have I gained an opportunity against you!' In the face of this present testimony, how could they dare conceal anything? They can only willingly accept their portion of past misfortunes; just as the sūtras explain, within the hells no one is punished wrongfully.
