42. These two departments or divisions of Wailing Hell are also mentioned, for example, in the Mahāvastu (dvau ca rauravau) and the Mvy. For references, see BHSD, s.v. “raurava.” Their Pali names are attested in the commentary on the Pali Saṃkiccajātaka (Jātaka no. 530), where they are also described (see glossary entries). For a (different) description of the Raurava and the Mahāraurava hells in Purāṇic literature, see PE, s.v. “kāla,” and Zin 2014, p. 271.
