經律異相 50.38

50.38

第四第五名叫喚大叫喚。此大地獄其中罪人。羅剎獄卒頸黃眼赤火從中出。著朱色衣身肉堅勁。走射罪人。罪人狂怖叩頭求哀。呼大將軍小見憐愍。將入熱鐵地獄。縱廣百由旬。驅打驅走足皆燋然。脂髓流出如笮蘇油。鐵棒頭額其腦流出如破酪瓶。復將入鐵閣屋間。黑煙來燻。互相堆押意欲求出。其門已閉大喚㘁呼聲常不絕。此人前世斗秤欺誑。非法斷事受寄不還。侵凌下劣惱諸貧窮令其號哭。破他城邑壞人聚落。傷害劫奪舉城叫呼。詐誘令出而復害之。今受叫喚地獄。燻殺穴居之類幽閉囹圄。或闇煙窟中而燻殺之。或投井中劫奪他財。皆受大叫喚地獄罪報。

The fourth and fifth are called Raurava and Mahāraurava. As for the sinners in these great hells, rākṣasa hell wardens with yellow necks and red eyes emit fire from within; dressed in vermilion clothing, with firm and vigorous flesh, they run and shoot at the sinners. In frantic terror, the sinners kowtow and plead for mercy, crying out, 'Great general, show a little pity!' They are taken into a hot iron hell, a hundred yojanas in length and breadth. Beaten and driven to run, their feet are completely scorched, their fat and marrow flowing out like pressed ghee. Iron clubs strike their heads and foreheads, their brains flowing out like broken curd jars. They are again taken into iron pavilions, where black smoke comes to fumigate them. Heaping and pressing against one another, wishing to escape, the doors have already closed, and the sounds of their loud wailing and screeching continue unceasingly. In previous lives, these people cheated with bushels and scales, judged legal cases unlawfully, received deposits and failed to return them, oppressed the lowly and distressed the poor, causing them to weep; they destroyed others' cities and ruined villages, harming and plundering until an entire city cried out, or deceitfully enticed them out only to harm them: now they suffer the Raurava Hell. Fumigating to death burrowing creatures, shutting people in prisons, suffocating them to death in dark caves of smoke, or throwing people into wells to rob their wealth: all suffer the retribution of the Mahāraurava Hell.
