121. Guenther 1986, 58: “(vii) Rab.tu tsha.ba (Pratāpana, Intense Heating Hell) is so called, because beings there are tormented in a very special way. When they have been burnt with molten metal so that no skin is left and while fire flames from the nine openings of the body, they are pierced through with three-spiked weapons from the anus and the soles of the feet to the head and shoulders: Some are boiled in a / Burning stream of molten bronze, / Others are impaled / On red-hot thorny iron stakes.” See also Konchog Gyaltsen 1998, 98.
