俱舍論疏 11.76

11.76

論「諸鬼本處至廣說如經」，述鬼住處竝貧富異。《正理論》云「此贍部洲南邊直下深過五百踰繕那量，有琰魔王都，縱廣量亦爾。有人云：以此文證，明知金剛座近北，諸地獄等在王都下稍近南邊，不相妨也。」今詳此釋，事恐不然。無間地獄廣二萬踰繕那，於四門外有十六增，或說七地獄遶無間獄，其傍復有寒地獄處，縱少近南亦侵金剛座下。今現人趣居處與鬼趣宅舍不相障礙，故知地獄鬼趣與金剛座不相妨也。若不爾者，鬼趣等處豈無土石等耶？

The treatise says: "The primal dwelling place of the ghosts... fully explained in the sūtras." This states the dwelling places of ghosts, along with the differences between the poor and the rich. The *Nyāyānusāra* says: "Directly below the southern edge of this Jambudvīpa, at a depth exceeding five hundred yojanas, is King Yama's capital, of equal length and breadth. Someone says: 'With this text as proof, one clearly knows that the diamond throne is near the north, while the various hells and so forth are below the king's capital, slightly nearer to the southern edge, so they do not obstruct each other.'" Now examining this explanation, this matter may perhaps not be so. The Avīci hell is twenty thousand yojanas wide, and outside its four gates are the sixteen subsidiary hells; or it is said that seven hells surround the Avīci hell, beside which are also the locations of the cold hells; even if they were slightly to the south, they would still encroach beneath the diamond throne. Now, the dwellings of the human destiny and the residences of the ghost destiny do not obstruct one another; therefore, one knows that the hells, the ghost destiny, and the diamond throne do not obstruct one another. Were it not so, how could the places of the ghost destiny and so forth be devoid of earth and stone?
