Therefore, the hell wardens in the hells are not real sentient beings." Some say they are sentient beings. Question: "If so, why does the fire not burn them?" Answer: "This is definitely because they are obstructed by karmic force; or because they have produced different great elements (mahābhūta), therefore they are not burned." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 11.25](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1823.11.25) - [Next: 11.27](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1823.11.27) - [Up: 11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1823.11) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1823~en-mt.11.26) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [阿毘達磨俱舍論](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.darsana.abhidharma.abhidharmakosa!bhasya*zh-xuanzang.11.19) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1823.11.26](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1823.11.26) · Pramāṇa
