窃作是念：‘彼大火聚，高等人量，或逾人量，其火方息，非清凉地，是人往彼，或坐或卧，转增热恼，甚不适意，必受极苦。’作是念时，彼人前往，果如所念，受极苦恼。舍利子！有一类人，堕地狱者，亦复如是！彼人若心若意，我悉能知，由其不知正道所行，身坏命终，堕于恶趣，生地狱中，甚不适意，受极苦恼，如来以净天眼过于人眼，谛观斯事。舍利子！是故如来于地狱道及地狱因，乃至有情所受报应，而悉能知。 “又舍利子！彼畜生道及畜生因，乃至有情所受报应，我悉能知。舍利子！譬如世间有秽恶聚，高等人量，或逾人量，秽恶之物，周匝充满。或有一人，于盛夏时炎暑之月，物景炽然，酷热可畏，其人自远而来，加复疲困，饥渴所逼，但随道径，诣秽恶处，欲求憩止。其傍有一明目之人，见彼炎热极困苦者，奔驰道径而求憩止。时明目人，窃作是念：‘彼秽恶聚，高等人量，或逾人量，是人往彼，非清凉地，转增热恼，甚不光泽，不可爱乐，必受极苦。’作是念时，其人前往，或坐或卧，果如所念，甚不光泽，不可爱乐。舍利子！有一类人，堕畜生者，亦复如是！彼人若心若意，我悉能知，由其不知正道所行，身坏命终，堕于恶趣，生畜生中，甚不光泽，不可爱乐，复不适意，受极苦恼， 现代汉语译本：我暗自思忖：‘那巨大的火堆，有高大的人那么大，或者比人还大，那火刚刚熄灭，不是清凉的地方，这个人前往那里，或坐或卧，只会增加热恼，非常不舒适，必定遭受极大的痛苦。’当这样想的时候，那个人前往那里，果然如我所想，遭受极大的苦恼。舍利子（Śāriputra）！有一类人，堕入地狱的人，也是这样！那人的心思意念，我完全能够知晓，因为他们不知道正确的道路应该如何行走，身死命终之后，堕入恶趣，生在地狱之中，非常不舒适，遭受极大的苦恼。如来（Tathāgata）用清净的天眼，超越人眼，仔细观察这件事。舍利子（Śāriputra）！因此，如来（Tathāgata）对于地狱道以及地狱的起因，乃至众生所受的报应，都完全能够知晓。 又舍利子（Śāriputra）！对于畜生道以及畜生道的起因，乃至众生所受的报应，我也完全能够知晓。舍利子（Śāriputra）！譬如世间有一堆污秽之物，有高大的人那么大，或者比人还大，污秽之物，周围都充满了。或者有一个人，在盛夏时节炎热的月份，万物景象都炽热燃烧，酷热得可怕，那个人从远处而来，加上又疲惫困顿，被饥渴所逼迫，只是沿着道路，前往污秽之处，想要寻求休息。他的旁边有一个眼睛明亮的人，看见那个炎热困苦的人，奔跑着道路，寻求休息。这时，明眼人暗自思忖：‘那堆污秽之物，有高大的人那么大，或者比人还大，这个人前往那里，不是清凉的地方，只会增加热恼，非常不光彩，不可爱乐，必定遭受极大的痛苦。’当这样想的时候，那个人前往那里，或坐或卧，果然如我所想，非常不光彩，不可爱乐。舍利子（Śāriputra）！有一类人，堕入畜生道的人，也是这样！那人的心思意念，我完全能够知晓，因为他们不知道正确的道路应该如何行走，身死命终之后，堕入恶趣，生在畜生道中，非常不光彩，不可爱乐，又不舒适，遭受极大的苦恼。

English version: I thought to myself: 'That great pile of fire, as tall as a person, or even taller, the fire has just gone out, it is not a cool place, if that person goes there, whether sitting or lying down, it will only increase the heat and annoyance, it will be very uncomfortable, and they will surely suffer greatly.' As I thought this, that person went there, and as I thought, suffered greatly. Śāriputra! There are people who fall into hell, and it is the same! I can fully know that person's thoughts and intentions, because they do not know the right path to follow, and after their body breaks and their life ends, they fall into evil realms, are born in hell, are very uncomfortable, and suffer greatly. The Tathāgata, with pure heavenly eyes surpassing human eyes, carefully observes this matter. Śāriputra! Therefore, the Tathāgata is fully aware of the path of hell and the causes of hell, and even the retribution received by sentient beings. Furthermore, Śāriputra! I fully know the path of animals and the causes of animals, and even the retribution received by sentient beings. Śāriputra! For example, in the world there is a pile of filth, as tall as a person, or even taller, filled with filthy things all around. Or there is a person, in the hot months of summer, when all things are burning fiercely, and the heat is terrible, that person comes from afar, and is also tired and exhausted, and driven by hunger and thirst, they just follow the path to the filthy place, wanting to seek rest. Beside them is a person with clear eyes, who sees that hot and suffering person, running along the path, seeking rest. At this time, the clear-eyed person thinks to themselves: 'That pile of filth, as tall as a person, or even taller, if that person goes there, it is not a cool place, it will only increase the heat and annoyance, it is very unsightly, unlovable, and they will surely suffer greatly.' As they think this, that person goes there, whether sitting or lying down, and as I thought, it is very unsightly, unlovable. Śāriputra! There are people who fall into the animal realm, and it is the same! I can fully know that person's thoughts and intentions, because they do not know the right path to follow, and after their body breaks and their life ends, they fall into evil realms, are born in the animal realm, are very unsightly, unlovable, and uncomfortable, and suffer greatly. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: The Tathagata (如来, one of the titles of a Buddha) with pure divine eyes, surpassing human eyes, attentively observes this matter. Shariputra (舍利子, Śāriputra, one of the ten principal disciples of the Buddha, known for his wisdom)! Therefore, the Tathagata is fully capable of knowing the animal realm and the causes leading to rebirth in the animal realm, as well as the retributions experienced by sentient beings. 'Furthermore, Shariputra (舍利子, Śāriputra)! I am fully capable of knowing the preta (饿鬼, hungry ghost) realm and the causes leading to rebirth in the preta realm, as well as the retributions experienced by sentient beings. Shariputra (舍利子, Śāriputra)! For example, there is a tree, about the height of a person, or taller than a person, withered and dry, with branches and leaves fallen. At this time, there is a person, in the height of summer, in a scorching month, when all things appear to be burning, and the heat is terrifying. This person comes from afar, and is exhausted, weary, hungry, and thirsty. He follows the path to the withered tree, seeking rest. Nearby, there is a person with good eyesight, who sees that person going to the withered tree seeking rest, and thinks to himself: 'This person is going there, which is not a cool and refreshing place, but will instead suffer more.' As he thinks this, that person goes forward, and either sits or lies down, and as he thought, suffers even more. Shariputra (舍利子, Śāriputra)! There is a type of person who falls into the preta (饿鬼) realm, and it is just like this! I am fully capable of knowing their thoughts and intentions, because they do not know the correct path to follow. After their body breaks and their life ends, they fall into the evil realms, and are reborn in the preta (饿鬼) realm, suffering even more.
