49.22

云何地獄。答謂寒熱邊地也。有無量種。今當略說。寒地獄者。了叫喚。不了叫喚。不叫喚。有是三相極惡喚呼。了叫喚者有三。一阿浮陀。二泥羅浮陀。三阿波跛。阿浮陀地獄者由寒身中生似癰。泥羅浮陀地獄者風吹脹滿。阿波跛者極寒風吹剝其身皮肉盡落。皆急戰喚聲。此三可了。

Question: What are the hells? Answer: They refer to the cold, hot, and border [hells]. There are immeasurable varieties; now I shall explain them briefly. As for the cold hells, there are those with distinct cries, indistinct cries, and no cries. There are these three marks of utterly terrible wailing. Those with distinct cries are three: first, Arbuda; second, Nirarbuda; third, Aṭaṭa (Apapo). In the Arbuda hell, due to the cold, swellings like boils arise on their bodies. In the Nirarbuda hell, the wind blows and causes them to swell fully. In the Aṭaṭa hell, the extremely cold wind blows and strips the skin and flesh from their bodies until all falls away; they all urgently shudder and utter wailing sounds. These three can be distinctly understood.
