佛說佛名經 20.31

20.31

爾時，東門之中有無數罪人，遙望見之悲啼號叫，舉體投地唱如是言：「我今何罪來入此中？」獄卒夜叉手持大斧望頭而斫，復以鐵索來纏其身，猛火燒體飛鏘亂刺。爾時罪人步步而倒至于桁下，獄卒夜叉揘攩罪人，以大鐵鋸節節分解，流血遍地苦痛萬端，乃有羊形牛形驢馬之形，蟲鳥雜類諸畜生之形，來飲其血復噉其肉，因諸畜生等皆從罪人索其本命及以本肉。爾時，罪人無言以答，諸畜生等皆𠯗齧之。痛苦楚毒不可堪忍，罪人呻吼口眼血出，悲聲嗚咽上徹于天。如是苦毒一日一夜受罪無量，千死千生萬死萬生，經千萬劫無有出期；後若得出當墮畜生中，百億千生為諸怨家之噉食。

At that time, within the eastern gate there were countless sinners who, seeing it from afar, wept bitterly and wailed, casting their whole bodies onto the ground and crying out these words: 'For what sin of mine have I now entered into this place?' The wardens and yakṣas, holding great axes in their hands, aimed at their heads and chopped them, then bound their bodies with iron chains, while fierce fires burned their forms and flying halberds pierced them indiscriminately. Then the sinners fell at every step until they reached beneath the rack. The wardens and yakṣas seized and dragged the sinners, and with large iron saws dismembered them joint by joint, blood flowing everywhere, the pain and suffering of myriad kinds. Then there appeared the shapes of sheep, cattle, donkeys, horses, insects, birds, and miscellaneous kinds of beasts, which came to drink their blood and eat their flesh; for these beasts all demanded from the sinners their original life and their original flesh. At that time, the sinners had no words to reply, and all the beasts gnawed and bit them. The agony and bitter torment were unbearable; the sinners groaned and howled, blood streaming from their mouths and eyes, their weeping and sobbing resounding upward to the heavens. Such bitter torments were suffered unboundedly day and night, dying a thousand times and being reborn a thousand times, dying ten thousand times and being reborn ten thousand times, through thousands of myriads of kalpas without any time of release. If they should afterward be released, they shall fall into the animal realm, and for hundreds of billions of thousands of lifetimes be eaten by their enemies.
