46. Translation tentative: lus po rgyang grags bcu gnyis dang ldan zhing lus la me gyen du ’bar ba. There may be a sentence missing here. As it stands it is unclear whose bodies (lus po) are being referred to as “having twelve earshots distance” (rgyang grags). The Pali Pañcagatidīpanī (translated in Hazlewood 1987) mentions huge-bodied fearsome females in this hell, who torment beings there: “Metal-toothed, huge bodied, blazing fearsome females, embracing him, feed on the one who steals another’s wife” (ibid., p. 141, verse 31).
