6.34

The horse-headed rākṣasa answered: 'These śramaṇas received the Buddha's pure precepts, but did not seek the future unexcelled Buddha path; they sought only present fame, praise, profit, and support, violating in body the four prohibitions and the eighty thousand deportments. They craved the offerings of the faithful like fire catching dry grass, without knowing satisfaction; they sat on people's couches and seats contrary to the Dharma; they stayed overnight with laypeople like worldly people; they sat on the Buddha's bed, climbed and trod upon their masters' seats, and slept in the cool shade beneath the statues of their masters. Due to these causes and conditions, they fell into this hell.'
