And that tongue, through the force of karma, becomes five hundred yojanas in size. By the power of that false speech, and at the time it comes forth, those henchmen of Yama peg it down upon the ground of blazing iron. And a thousand plows created by his karma appear, fitted with blazing points; \[drawn\] by powerful oxen, they plow through the interior of his tongue. There, rivers flowing with pus, blood, and worms run through it, and so forth. - [Previous: 307](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.marga.siksasamuccaya~en-mt.307) - [Next: 309](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.marga.siksasamuccaya~en-mt.309) ## Linked texts (1) - [Śikṣāsamuccaya](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.marga.siksasamuccaya.308) — Śāntideva, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.marga.siksasamuccaya~en-mt.308](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.marga.siksasamuccaya~en-mt.308) · Pramāṇa
