經律異相 49.34

49.34

叫喚大地獄。有十六小地獄。各縱廣五百由旬。何故名叫喚獄。獄卒捉罪人擲大鑊中。又置大鐵鍑中。熱湯涌沸煮彼罪人。號咷叫喚苦痛辛酸。又取彼罪人擲大𨫼上。反覆煎熬號咷叫喚。餘罪未畢故使不死故名叫喚。久受苦已乃出叫喚至黑沙地獄。乃至寒氷爾乃命終。瞋恚懷毒造諸惡行。墮叫喚地獄。

The great Raurava hell has sixteen minor hells, each five hundred yojanas in extent. Why is it called the Raurava (Crying Out) hell? The hell-wardens seize the sinners and cast them into large cauldrons, or place them into large iron pots; the scalding broth surges and boils, cooking those sinners, who howl and cry out in bitter pain and misery. They also take those sinners and fling them onto large griddles, turning them over and over to fry and scorch them, howling and crying out. Because their remaining retribution is not yet finished, it makes them not die; hence it is called Raurava. Having endured suffering for a long time, they then exit Raurava and reach the Black Sand hell, and so forth up to the Cold Ice [hell], only then does their life come to an end. Harbouring wrath and venom and committing all manner of evil deeds, one falls into the Raurava hell.
