7.38

晝夜三時有大銅鑊自然在前。若鑊入宮內。王見怖畏。捨出宮外。若鑊出宮外王入宮內。有大獄卒臥王熱鐵上。鐵鉤擗口洋銅灌之。從咽徹下無不燋爛。事竟還與婇女共相娛樂。彼諸大臣同受福者亦復如是。

Three times during the day and three times during the night, a large copper cauldron spontaneously appears before him. If the cauldron enters the palace, the king sees it, becomes terrified, and flees outside the palace. If the cauldron goes outside the palace, the king enters the palace. A great hell warden lays the king upon hot iron, forces open his mouth with iron hooks, and pours molten copper into it, which penetrates completely from his throat downward, scorching and rotting everything. When this is finished, he returns to make merry with his court maidens. Those ministers of his who share in his karmic retribution do likewise.
