5.17
「爾時空中無形有聲:『此處黑闇汝欲往不?』罪人聞聲尋即起心欲往彼所。氣絕命終坐鐵床上,如鴈王翔落黑闇處,既入中已,刀輪上下斬剉其身,有大鐵烏嘴距長利,從山飛來摷啄罪人,痛急疾走求明不得,足下蒺蔾穿骨徹髓。如是慞惶經五百萬億歲,亦如四天王日月歲數。彼人頭打諸黑闇山,腦流眼出,獄卒羅剎以鐵叉叉還安眼眶,罪畢乃出為貧窮人,眼目角睞盲冥無見,或被癩病人所驅逐。如是罪報經五百身,過是以後,遇善知識發菩提心。」
"At that time, formless voices in the air say: 'Here is darkness; do you wish to go?' Hearing the voice, the sinner immediately forms the desire to go there. When their breath ceases and their life ends, they sit upon the iron bed, plunging down like a soaring king of geese into the dark place. Having entered within, knife-wheels above and below chop and mince their bodies. There are great iron crows with long and sharp beaks and talons that fly down from the mountains to strike and peck the sinners. In acute agony, they run swiftly seeking light but cannot find it, while caltrops beneath their feet pierce their bones through to the marrow. In such panic and terror, they pass five hundred million myriad years, also reckoned by the days and months of the Four Heavenly Kings. Those people smash their heads against the black mountains, their brains spilling out and their eyes popping forth; the rākṣasa hell-wardens fork them back with iron pitchforks and set them into their eye sockets. When their punishment is ended, they emerge to become impoverished people with squinting, cross-eyed, or blind eyes that see nothing, or they are driven away by people on account of leprosy. Such retributions for sin continue for five hundred lifetimes; after this has passed, they meet a kalyāṇamitra and arouse bodhicitta."
