122. Guenther 1986, 58, 59: “(viii) The torture of the denizens of the mNar.med (Avīci) hell consists in being thrust into huge iron kettles filled with molten (32a) bronze or copper from vast cauldrons and then being boiled over an unbearably hot fire. As has been written: Some are cast into iron kettles / Head down like the ingredients of rice soup. / Because of the uninterrupted pain this hell is called mNar.med (Avīci).” See also Konchog Gyaltsen 1998, 98.
