佛頂尊勝陀羅尼經教跡義記 2.129

2.129

述曰：第四、能破三途。文中有其三意：一、破地獄，二、破閻羅王界，三、破畜生。閻摩路伽者，準《樓炭經》述，此閻浮提下有閻羅王大城，縱廣正等二十四萬里，有七重城壁、七重行樹，門戶堂殿皆以七寶莊嚴。其閻羅王每日三度受苦，時於其中有大猛火柱赫奕自然化出，王即恐怖悶絕躃地，獄卒羅剎以鉗開口，灌以洋銅，五臟燋爛。如是日夜三時受罪，餘時依法治罰罪人。死至彼王前，五度勘問，問已訖方始受苦。言此陀羅尼悉能破故，等皆解脫。

The commentary states: The fourth is being able to destroy the three wretched paths. In the text there are three senses: 1. destroying the hells; 2. destroying the realm of King Yama; 3. destroying animals. As for Yamaloka, according to what the Lòutàn jīng states, beneath this Jambudvīpa there is the great city of King Yama, exactly two hundred and forty thousand li on each side, with seven concentric city walls and seven rows of trees, its gates and hall pavilions all adorned with the seven jewels. King Yama experiences suffering three times every day: at those times, a pillar of fierce, blazing fire naturally appears within it, and the king falls terrified and fainting to the ground; the hell wardens and rākṣasas pry open his mouth with tongs and pour in molten copper, roasting and charring his five internal organs. In this way, he undergoes punishment at the three periods of day and night; during the rest of the time, he punishes sinners according to the law. Upon death, when [beings] arrive before that king, they are interrogated five times; only after the questioning is complete does the suffering begin. Saying that this dhāraṇī can destroy all of these means that they are equally liberated.
