12.21

The horse-headed rākṣasa replied, "These śramaṇas received the pure precepts of the Buddha but did not keep them purely. In their hearts there was no compassion: they drank liquor, ate meat, and claimed there is no karmic retribution. The sin of eating meat cannot be excused by principle. Due to these causes and conditions, they endure this punishment."
