佛說佛名經 8.23

8.23

馬頭羅剎答曰：「此諸罪人受佛淨戒而不護持，兩舌惡罵誹謗他人，毀辱良善傳虛作實咀呪萬端，以是因緣，墮此地獄，經千萬劫無有出期。後若得出常作畜生鵂鶹鴟梟，所作音聲人不喜聞；若生人中百生千生聾盲喑啞，口氣常臭為他所憎。」

The horse-headed rākṣasa replied: “These sinners received the pure precepts of the Buddha but did not uphold and protect them. With divisive speech and evil cursing, they slandered others, insulted and humiliated the good, spread falsehood as truth, and practiced all manner of curses. Due to these causes and conditions, they have fallen into this hell, with no time of release for thousands of myriads of kalpas. If they should later get out, they will always become animals—owls and horned owls—whose sounds no one likes to hear. If born among humans, for hundreds and thousands of lifetimes they will be deaf, blind, mute, and dumb, their breath constantly foul, and they will be detested by others.”
