A horse-headed rākṣasa slaps his ears with his hands, fire issuing from his mouth and eyes; holding a sharp blade in his hand, he chops toward their heads. There are also hungry dogs that come to eat their flesh, hungry ghosts that come to drink their blood, and flying birds that come to feed on their marrow. The horse-headed rākṣasa seizes their arms and drags them; fire blazes beneath his hands, and immediately they are scorched. Streams of fire pour over their bodies, thoroughly scorching and rotting them. In a single day and a single night, they suffer limitless punishment, dying a thousand deaths and living a thousand lives, dying ten thousand deaths and living ten thousand lives.
