### [49.37](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2121.49.37)

大燒炙地獄。有十六小地獄。縱廣五百由旬。將諸罪人置鐵城中。其城火然內外俱赤。燒炙罪人皮肉燋爛萬毒並至。有大火坑火焰熾盛。其坑兩岸有大火山。捉彼罪人貫鐵叉上竪著火中重火燒炙皮肉燋爛。餘罪未畢故使不死。久受苦已出大燒炙至黑沙地獄。乃至寒氷爾乃命終。捨善果業為眾惡行。墮大燒炙獄。

> The Pratāpana hell has sixteen minor hells, each five hundred yojanas in extent. They lead the sinners and place them into an iron city; that city is ablaze with fire, red-hot inside and out, scorching the sinners so that their skin and flesh are charred and rotted, and myriad afflictions arrive at once. There is a great fire pit whose flames burn fiercely; on both sides of that pit there are great flaming mountains. Seizing those sinners, \[the wardens\] impale them upon iron forks, standing them upright in the fire, where double fires scorch them so that their skin and flesh are charred and rotted. Because their remaining retribution is not yet finished, it makes them not die. Having endured suffering for a long time, they exit Pratāpana and reach the Black Sand hell, and so forth up to the Cold Ice \[hell\], only then does their life come to an end. Abandoning the fruition of wholesome karma and committing numerous evil deeds, one falls into the Pratāpana hell.
