27.19

The horse-headed rākṣasa replied to Bodhisattva Baoda: 'These people could not restrain their minds and practice ascetic deeds to seek fields of merit; on the contrary, they relied on powerful clans and leaned on official authority, manipulating the worthy and oppressing the poor and lowly. Or they wrongfully seized others' wealth and treasures, or deceitfully usurped the livelihoods and estates of other households, without shame or remorse in their minds. Due to these causes and conditions, they have fallen into hell, without any time of emergence for hundreds and thousands of births. Later, if they manage to get out, they will be born into base and lowly stations in borderlands, unable to hear the Buddha's true Dharma.'
