They have red-hot iron pellets as their fruit. The trees are twenty-four yojanas high. Because of being unfilial to parents, disrespectful to teachers and elders, committing evil karma of speech, lacking a mind of compassion and love, and attacking people with blades and staves, when \[such a person\] is about to die, his mind is like paste or glue, forming attachments everywhere. He then forms this thought: 'My mind is bound and attached, clinging to everything without letting go. Indulging in alcohol and craving sensuality, even when encountering suffering and disaster my mind still does not cease. If I could obtain a sharp blade to sever this craving!' In response to his voice, the hell wardens transform into attendants holding mirrors, who say: 'Your mind has much attachment; you may look into this mirror.' He sees the image of a sharp sword. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 50.15](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2121.50.15) - [Next: 50.17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2121.50.17) - [Up: 50](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2121.50) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2121~en-mt.50.16) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2121.50.16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2121.50.16) · Pramāṇa
