21.49

西門之中有諸沙門來,入其中呻號動地。馬頭羅剎手捉鐵捧望頭而椎,罪人叫喚咩聲而走,獄卒夜叉競共打之。走藏無地,走向東門則閉,南西北門亦復如是,一日一夜受罪苦痛,求生不得求死不得。

From the western gate several śramaṇas came, entering into it, their groaning and wailing shaking the ground. Horse-headed rākṣasas held iron clubs in their hands and struck at their heads; the sinners wailed, bleating like sheep as they ran, and the hell-warden yakṣas vied with one another to beat them. Running to hide, they found no ground; running toward the eastern gate, it immediately shut, and so likewise with the southern, western, and northern gates. For a day and a night they endured sinful suffering and pain, seeking life but unable to attain it, seeking death but unable to attain it.
