110. The Tibetan says literally, “Just as are twenty Blistering Hells, so is one Bursting Blister Hell.” The English translations for the hahava and huhuva hells are Rotman’s (Rotman 2008, 378). For alternative English translations (based on the Tibetan) of the other cold hells, cf. Könchok Gyaltsen 1998, 100; see also Guenther 1986, 60–62 (which also contains a translation of our passage here relating the simile of the emptying of the sesame store). For other versions of the simile, see AKBh(P) on AK III, 84, English tr. Pruden 1988–90, vol. 2, 459, 473; The Hundred Deeds, Toh 340, 3.372; Sn III.10 (Kokāliyasutta).
