佛說佛名經 8.23

8.23

The horse-headed rākṣasa replied: “These sinners received the pure precepts of the Buddha but did not uphold and protect them. With divisive speech and evil cursing, they slandered others, insulted and humiliated the good, spread falsehood as truth, and practiced all manner of curses. Due to these causes and conditions, they have fallen into this hell, with no time of release for thousands of myriads of kalpas. If they should later get out, they will always become animals—owls and horned owls—whose sounds no one likes to hear. If born among humans, for hundreds and thousands of lifetimes they will be deaf, blind, mute, and dumb, their breath constantly foul, and they will be detested by others.”
