2.7
Piśāca ghosts uttered great, vile cries, their vapors billowing like clouds, raining down heated iron balls as they arrived in a flash. Kumbhāṇḍa ghosts squatted on earthen mounds, displaying their hideous forms. Pūtana ghosts were dark and emaciated, wearing large cauldrons filled with heated iron balls upon their heads, holding wheel-knives in their hands, their left feet trampling dogs and their right feet trampling wolves as they rushed forward. The rākṣasa kings had backs black as lacquer, chests white as the moon, eyes like roaring fires, disheveled hair like bundles of thorns, dog-fangs protruding upward like sharp swords, the claws of their ten fingers sharp as blade-tips, the ten claws of their feet crisscrossing like swords, their heads bound with iron halters as they came running swiftly. The great generals of the wilderness ghosts and spirits had six heads upon one neck, six faces on their chests, and two faces on their kneecaps, their whole bodies growing hairs like arrowheads with which they braced themselves and shot at people, their eyes opened wide and blazing red with blood flowing down, running swiftly alongside all kinds of ferocious creatures as they arrived.
