32.25

The *New Vibhāṣā Śāstra* states: Each of the eight hot hells has four gates. Outside each gate are four additional excursions (utsada), so called because the suffering of sentient beings increases as they wander into them. The bodies of sentient beings in hell resemble humans. The *Saddharmasmṛtyupasthāna Sūtra* states: The suffering of Avīci is a thousand times greater than that of the previous seven great hells.
