經律異相 50.9

50.9

十八小熱地獄者。如阿鼻獄。亦七重城七重鐵輞。無量諸惡以為莊嚴。以不從師教興惡逆心。不知恩養盜師害師。污師淨食坐師床坐捉師鉢盂藏去不淨。作種種惡毒藥飲師。若沙門婆羅門。作諸非法無有慚愧。剝像破塔劫法寶物。殺伯叔父母兄弟姊妹。命欲終時。十八獄卒各以鐵叉擎置一隔獄。如大寶蓋雨微細雨。雨渧如華熱惱入心。見雨清涼即作念言。願我得坐蔭蓋之下。涼雨灑我不亦樂耶。氣絕命終。如一瞬頃即坐劍林上。百億劍刃。刃皆出火燒刺其身。空中寶蓋化為火輪。從上而下直劈其頂。身體碎裂為數千段。上雨銅丸從毛孔入。獄卒羅剎以大鐵叉刺罪人眼。或以鐵箭貫射其心悶絕而死。須臾還活坐劍床上。旋嵐猛風吹墮地獄。時閻羅王告言。獄種汝作眾惡。殺師謗師。汝今生處名拔舌阿鼻。汝在此獄當經三劫。作是語已即滅不現。

Regarding the Eighteen Minor Hot Hells: like the Avīci hell, they also have seven tiers of walls and seven tiers of iron rims, adorned with immeasurable evils. Because of not following the teacher's instructions, giving rise to an evil and rebellious mind, failing to recognize nurture and kindness, stealing from the teacher, harming the teacher, defiling the teacher's pure food, sitting on the teacher's bed and seat, taking the teacher's almsbowl and concealing it in impurity, committing various evil deeds, and giving poison to the teacher to drink; or if śramaṇas or brāhmaṇas commit various unlawful acts without shame or remorse, stripping images, destroying stūpas, plundering Dharma treasures, or killing uncles, parents, brothers, and sisters—when they are about to die, eighteen hell-wardens each use iron tridents to lift them and place them into a compartment of the hell. It is like a great jeweled canopy raining fine mist; the raindrops are like flowers, and searing distress enters their heart. Seeing the rain as cool, they think: 'May I sit beneath the sheltering canopy; would it not be joyful if the cool rain sprinkled upon me?' Their breath ceases, their life ends, and in an instant they sit atop a forest of swords. There are tens of billions of sword blades, and all the blades emit fire, burning and piercing their body. The jeweled canopy in the air turns into a wheel of fire, which falls directly from above to cleave their skull, shattering their body into thousands of pieces. From above, copper pellets rain down, entering through their pores. The hell-warden rākṣasas pierce the sinner's eyes with great iron tridents, or pierce their heart with iron arrows, so that they faint and die. In a moment they revive and sit upon a bed of swords, and a fierce hurricane blows them down into the hell. At that time, King Yama declares: 'Hell-spawn, you committed numerous evils, killing your teacher and slandering your teacher. The place where you are now born is called Tongue-Pulling Avīci. In this hell you shall pass three kalpas.' Having spoken these words, he immediately vanishes.
