經律異相 49.26

49.26

復次以熱赤銅。鍱纏身骨破碎髓血流。以鞭杖加眾生及出家。不精進受著信施衣故生彼中。極大闇冥苦於煙熏。倒懸其身使歙煙熏。煙熏穴居眾生故也。行地獄者。行列罪眾生如屠肆者。截手足耳鼻及頭。本為屠兒故受此苦。復次熱鐵地駕鐵火車。獄卒乘之張眼㖑喚叱叱。使走以乘象馬驅使疲勞故墮此中。婬犯他妻驅上劍樹自然火燒受如此苦。謂有主治地獄獄卒者。以行緣故不被火燒。少主治地獄者。一眾合二大哭三鐵鑑。眾合地獄者。罪眾生畏地獄卒。無量百千走入山間。前後自然生火。兩山自合如磨。血流如河骨肉爛盡。以喜磨眾生故也。復次火燒大鐵臼以杵擣之。經歷百年彼以罪緣而命不盡。以臼擣殺蚤虱及𭄃殺故也。

Furthermore, using heated red copper plates, they wrap the body until the bones are smashed and marrow and blood flow out; because of using whips and cudgels upon sentient beings, as well as leaving home and receiving the robes of faithful offerings without diligence, they are born therein. In extreme darkness, they are tormented by smoke; their bodies are hung upside down and made to inhale the smoke, because of smoking out subterranean creatures. In the Rows hell, sinful sentient beings are arranged in rows like at a slaughterhouse, and their hands, feet, ears, noses, and heads are cut off; having originally been butchers, they experience this suffering. Furthermore, on heated iron ground, they drive iron fire chariots; hell wardens ride them, glaring with wide eyes, shouting and yelling, forcing them to run; because of riding elephants and horses and driving them to exhaustion, they fall herein. For committing adultery with others' wives, they are driven up sword trees, which spontaneously burn with fire, experiencing such suffering. As for the hell wardens in the hells with tormentors, by force of karma they are not burned by fire. In the hells with few tormentors: first, Saṃghāta (Crushing); second, Great Crying; third, Iron Mirror. In the Saṃghāta hell, sinful sentient beings fear the hell wardens; immeasurable hundreds of thousands run into the mountains. In front and behind, fires spontaneously ignite; two mountains spontaneously close together like millstones, blood flowing like rivers and bones and flesh completely rotting away, because of having delighted in crushing sentient beings. Furthermore, fire heats a great iron mortar, and they are pounded with a pestle; passing through a hundred years, because of the conditions of their sins their life does not end, because of pounding and killing fleas, lice, and nits.
