2.57

Under the fourth [class], pāyattika, regarding the translation of the name: "Burning and boiling" is a matter of cruel punishment; "concealment and obstruction" is the characteristic of the place, being general appellations for the hells. Or alternatively, "burning and boiling" subsumes the eight hot hells, while "concealment and obstruction" aggregates the eight cold hells. According to the Commentary on the Vinayadvāviṃśatividyā-śāstra cited below, one falls into the Great Screaming Hell (Mahāraurava); according to the Abhidharmahṛdaya-śāstra, one falls into the Saṃghāta Hell for one day and night—the accounts given [in different texts] simply vary.
