又解：論師既立廣量十千，即知高量亦各十千由旬，依此而言，從此平地向下而入過三萬二千量至等活地獄，等活地獄縱廣十千，十千已下復隔四千有餘七獄橫布而住，不得上下比次安布，何者？以從平地向金地輪但深八萬，從上向下既除三萬二千之外方有八獄，唯有四萬八千由旬地，如何上下得受八獄各高萬由旬故。

> Another explanation says: Since the treatise master established the width as ten thousand, one knows that the height is also ten thousand yojanas each. Speaking according to this, entering downward from this level ground, passing an extent of thirty-two thousand, one reaches the Saṃjīva hell; the Saṃjīva hell is ten thousand in length and width; below that ten thousand, separated further by four thousand, the other seven hells reside spread horizontally, and cannot be arranged in vertical succession. Why? Because from the level ground down to the golden ground mandala it is only eighty thousand deep; from the top downward, after subtracting thirty-two thousand, only then are there the eight hells, leaving only forty-eight thousand yojanas of ground. How could it vertically accommodate eight hells each ten thousand yojanas high?
