佛說佛名經 26.15

26.15

「其城四門有四大銅狗，其身縱廣四十由旬，牙爪鋒鉅眼如閃電。復有無量鐵觜諸鳥，奮飛騰翔啄罪人肉，牛頭獄卒形如羅剎，而有九尾尾如鐵叉。復有八頭頭上有十八角，有六十四眼，一一眼中皆悉迸出諸鐵丸，燒罪人肉，然其一瞋一怒喈吼之時聲如霹靂。復有無量自然刀輪空中而下，從罪人頂入從足而出，於是罪人痛徹骨髓苦切肝心。如是經無量歲受諸苦惱，求生不得求死不得。如是等報，今日皆悉稽顙慚愧發露誠心懺悔。

"At the four gates of its city are four great bronze dogs, their bodies forty yojanas in length and breadth, with teeth and claws like sharp saws and eyes like lightning. There are also measureless iron-beaked birds flying and soaring, pecking at the sinners' flesh; ox-headed hell-wardens shaped like rākṣasas, having nine tails like iron pitchforks; and further having eight heads, with eighteen horns upon each head, and sixty-four eyes, from each of which burst forth iron pellets to burn the sinners' flesh. When they shout and roar in anger and wrath, their voices are like thunderpeals. There are also measureless spontaneous sword-wheels descending from the air, entering through the sinners' crowns and exiting through their feet; whereupon the sinners' pain pierces the marrow of their bones, acutely tormenting their livers and hearts. Thus passing through measureless years they undergo various sufferings and distress, seeking life without obtaining it, seeking death without obtaining it. Today, bowing our heads in shame and remorse, we reveal with sincere hearts and perform kṣamā for all such retributions.
