### [7.15](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.7.15)

第六燒炙地獄。亦有十六小地獄圍繞（大小同前）何故名燒炙。將諸罪人置鐵城中。其城火然內外俱赤。燒炙罪人。又著鐵樓上。其樓火然內外俱赤。又擲著大鐵陶中。其陶火然內外俱赤。燒炙罪人。皮肉燋爛萬毒並至。餘罪未畢故使不死。故名燒炙。久受苦已出燒炙地獄。乃至寒氷地獄然後命終。為燒炙眾生故墮燒炙地獄。長夜受此燒炙苦。

> Sixth is the Burning Hell (Tapana). It is also surrounded by sixteen minor hells (their sizes being as previously described). Why is it called Burning? The sinners are taken and placed within an iron city; that city is on fire, glowing red both inside and out, burning the sinners. They are also placed upon iron towers; those towers are on fire, glowing red both inside and out. They are also thrown into great iron kilns; those kilns are on fire, glowing red both inside and out, burning the sinners. Their skin and flesh are scorched and rotten, and ten thousand poisons arrive all at once. Because the remainder of their sins is not yet exhausted, they are made not to die; hence it is called Burning. Having suffered torment for a long time, they exit the Burning Hell and proceed up to the Cold Ice Hell, after which their lives end. It is on account of burning sentient beings that one falls into the Burning Hell, suffering this agony of burning through the long night.
