佛說佛名經 24.19

24.19

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.
