24.19

東門之中有六千罪人,口眼火然烟焰俱發,身手六根火流如水。罪人沙門而不肯前,馬頭羅剎手捉鐵叉,望背而撞胸前而出,手捉鐵鈎望骸而搭步步來前,中有鐵狗來飲其血,復有餓鬼來食其肉。爾時,罪人沙門手捉鐵犁耕其地,其地火然隨流而去,其犁揚中亦皆火流來燒罪人,地生穀草皆亦火然,一日一夜萬死萬生受大苦惱,精神飃浪魂魄幽冥,經千萬劫始得為人,聾盲瘖瘂為人所憎,橫為官事縣官閉纏,身生惡瘡遊於草野。

In the eastern gate there were six thousand sinners, fire blazing from their mouths and eyes, smoke and flames bursting forth together, fire flowing like water over their bodies, hands, and six sense organs. When the sinner-śramaṇas refused to step forward, horse-headed rākṣasas held iron forks in their hands, striking at their backs until they pierced out through their chests, and holding iron hooks in their hands, they hooked into their bones, dragging them forward step by step. Among them, iron dogs came to lap their blood, and hungry ghosts came to devour their flesh. At that time, the sinner-śramaṇas held iron plows in their hands to plow that ground; the ground was on fire, following the flow as they went, and the lifted parts of the plows were also flowing with fire to burn the sinners. The grains and grasses sprouting from the ground all caught fire as well. In one day and one night they suffered ten thousand deaths and ten thousand births, enduring immense pain and distress, their spirits tossed about and their souls plunged into darkness. After tens of millions of kalpas they finally managed to be born as humans, but deaf, blind, mute, and despised by others, arbitrarily entangled and imprisoned by official matters, with foul sores erupting on their bodies, wandering through the wilds.
