佛說佛名經 29.25

29.25

爾時，東門之中有三萬六千罪人，唱如是言：「我今何罪來入此處？」馬頭羅剎手捉鐵棒望背而打，罪人前入以脚蹴之，罪人狼䠙步步而倒，鐵鏘下刺飛火焚燒，或從眼然或從口出。罪人叫喚東西而走，直欲東走飛火逆燒，復欲西馳火還燒面。馬頭羅剎以手撮罪人頭髮兩手擿之，皮毛皆脫身骨俱碎，乃有餓狗來食其肉，復有餓鬼來飲其血。一日一夜受罪萬端，求生不得求死不得，經千萬劫受報不了，後若得出常作畜生。

At that time, in the eastern gate, there were thirty-six thousand sinners crying out these words: 'What sin of ours has brought us to enter this place?' Horse-headed rākṣasas held iron clubs in their hands and struck toward their backs. When the sinners stepped forward, [the rākṣasas] kicked them with their feet; the sinners staggered and fell at every step, while the iron pikes below impaled them, and flying fires incinerated them, burning out from their eyes or issuing from their mouths. The sinners wailed and ran east and west; just as they wanted to run east, flying fires blew against them and burned them, and when they wanted to dash west, fires returned to burn their faces. The horse-headed rākṣasas seized the sinners' hair with their hands and pulled with both hands, so that their skin and hair were completely stripped off and their bodies and bones were crushed. Hungry dogs came to eat their flesh, and hungry ghosts came to drink their blood. Throughout a day and a night they suffered ten thousand kinds of torment, seeking life but unable to attain it, seeking death but unable to attain it; through thousands of myriads of kalpas they could not finish receiving their retribution, and if later they could exit, they would constantly be animals.
