50.31
Eleventh is called Swollen and Stinking: two thousand five hundred leagues in length and breadth, filled with pus and blood; in life, this person entered a sage's room with an unwholesome mind, broke wind, and discharged filth; they suffer punishment for two hundred and forty years, and are later born among poor and lowly people, their bodies constantly stinking. Twelfth is called Impurity: one thousand leagues in length and breadth, filled with mucus and saliva; with a haughty mind and unwashed hands, one rubbed incense to make offerings to the Great Sage; when later born among humans, they are constantly arrogant. Thirteenth is called Impurity: six hundred leagues of pus; in life, while eating, there were rat droppings and dog food that were impure, which they threw into pure food; they undergo punishment for two hundred years and are born as dogs. Fourteenth is called Black Ears: constantly pitch-dark; in life, with an unwholesome mind one obstructed the Buddha's light; they suffer punishment for seven hundred years. Fifteenth is [a hell] forty thousand leagues in length and breadth: constantly hacked, shot at, beaten, scraped, and ground down by pestles; in life, this person committed the five heinous crimes; undergoing punishment readily lasts for several kalpas, or if passing through various hells, there is also a kalpa count of ten thousand years. Sixteenth is called Mutual Killing: wife kills husband, husband kills wife, mother kills child, child kills mother; in the past this person killed another's parents, as well as the parents and children of sentient beings; when born among humans, their parents, children, and grandchildren all die young. Seventeenth is called Hacking the Body: constantly hacked by hell demons; because formerly they hacked sentient beings; in a later life they are prone to facing government officials and lawsuits. Eighteenth is called Fire Cart: this person similarly burned and killed sentient beings; in a later life they are burned. Nineteenth is called Ignorance of the Dharma: filled with foolish people who heard the sound of the gaṇḍī and lay down with arrogant minds; later they are born in the borderlands. Twentieth is called Iron Griddle: because they fried shrimps and crabs; in a later life their lifespan is short.
