Furthermore, the Sūtra on the Samādhi of Pure Deliverance says: 'There are also thirty hells, each with an overseer; they are not fully recorded here to avoid tediousness. Only the names of the Five Officials are listed: first, the Fresh Official, who prohibits killing; second, the Water Official, who prohibits stealing; third, the Iron Official, who prohibits sexual misconduct; fourth, the Earth Official, who prohibits malicious speech; fifth, the Celestial Official, who prohibits alcohol.'
