若人身口意造業　作已入於惡道中
如是當生活地獄　最為可畏毛竪處
經歷無數千億歲　死已須臾還復活
怨讎各各相報對　由此眾生更相殺
若於父母起惡心　或佛菩薩聲聞眾
此等皆墮黑繩獄　其處受苦極嚴熾
教他正行令邪曲　見人發善必破壞
此等亦墮黑繩獄　兩舌惡口多妄語
樂作三種重惡業　不修三種善根牙
此等癡人必當入　合大地獄久受苦
或殺羊馬及諸牛　種種雜獸雞猪等
并殺諸餘蟲蟻類　彼人當墮合地獄
世間怖畏相多種　以此逼迫惱眾生
當墮磑山地獄中　受於壓磨舂擣苦
貪慾恚癡結使故　迴轉正理令別異
判是作非乖法律　彼為刀劍轉所傷
倚恃強勢劫奪他　有力無力皆悉取
若作如是諸逼惱　當為鐵象所蹴踏
若樂殺害諸眾生　身手血塗心嚴惡
常行如是不淨業　彼等當生叫喚處
種種觸惱眾生故　於叫喚獄被燒煮
其中復有大叫喚　此由諂曲奸猾心
諸見稠林所覆蔽　愛網彌密所沈淪
常行如是最下業　彼則墮於大叫喚
若至如是大叫喚　熾然鐵城毛竪處
其中鐵堂及鐵屋　諸來入者悉燒然
若作世間諸事業　恒多惱亂諸眾生
彼等當生熱惱處　於無量時受熱惱
世間沙門婆羅門　父母尊長諸耆舊
若恒觸惱令不喜　彼等皆墮熱惱獄
生天淨業不樂修　所愛至親常遠離
喜作如是諸事者　彼人當入熱惱獄
惡向沙門婆羅門　并諸善人父母等
或復害於餘尊者　彼墮熱惱常熾然
常多造作諸惡業　不曾發起一善心
是人直趣阿鼻獄　當受無量眾苦惱
若說正法為非法　說諸非法為正法
既無增益於善事　彼人當入阿鼻獄
活及黑繩及兩獄　合會叫喚等為五
熱惱大熱共成七　阿鼻地獄為第八
此八名為大地獄　嚴熾苦切難忍受
惡業之人所作故　其中小獄有十六

If a person creates karma with body, speech, and mind, / Having created it, he enters the evil destinies. / Thus he will be born in the Reviving Hell, / A most frightful place where the hair stands on end. / Having passed through countless thousands of koṭis of years, / Having died, he instantly returns to life again. / Enmity and vengeance are each repaid to one another; / Due to this, sentient beings kill one another in turn. / If one gives rise to evil thoughts toward parents, / Or toward the Buddha, bodhisattvas, and the assembly of śrāvakas, / These people will all fall into the Black Rope Hell, / Where the suffering experienced is extremely severe and blazing. / Teaching others wholesome conduct to make them crooked, / Seeing others give rise to goodness and inevitably destroying it— / These people also fall into the Black Rope Hell, / Being double-tongued, of evil speech, and speaking many falsehoods. / Delighting in committing the three kinds of heavy evil karma, / And not cultivating the sprouts of the three kinds of wholesome roots, / These foolish people must surely enter / The Crushing Great Hell to experience suffering for a long time. / Or slaughtering sheep, horses, and various cattle, / Diverse kinds of beasts, chickens, pigs, and the like, / And killing various other insects and ants— / That person shall fall into the Crushing Hell. / There are many kinds of fearful appearances in the world; / Using these to oppress and distress sentient beings, / One shall fall into the Millstone-Mountain Hell, / To endure the suffering of being pressed, ground, pounded, and crushed. / Because of the fetters of greed, hatred, and delusion, / Turning the correct principle upside down to make it different, / Judging what is right to be wrong and violating the Dharma and precepts— / They will be repeatedly wounded by knives and swords. / Relying on strength and power to rob others, / Taking everything from the powerful and the powerless alike— / If one creates such oppressions, / One will be trampled by iron elephants. / If one delights in slaughtering living beings, / Body and hands smeared with blood and mind cruel and evil, / Constantly practicing such impure karma, / They shall be born in the Screaming Place. / Because of distressing living beings in various ways, / They are boiled and roasted in the Screaming Hell. / There is also the Great Screaming Hell therein; / This comes from a deceitful, crooked, and cunning mind, / Covered over by the thicket of diverse views, / And drowned in the dense net of craving. / Constantly practicing such lowest karma, / They then fall into the Great Screaming Hell. / If one arrives at such a Great Screaming Hell, / A blazing iron city, a place where hair stands on end, / The iron halls and iron chambers within it / Completely burn all who come and enter. / If in doing various worldly occupations, / One constantly and excessively disturbs living beings, / They shall be born in the Place of Scorching, / To endure scorching torment for an immeasurable time. / The śramaṇas and brāhmaṇas of the world, / Parents, venerable elders, and seniors— / If one constantly distresses them and makes them unhappy, / They will all fall into the Scorching Hell. / Taking no pleasure in cultivating pure karma for rebirth in heaven, / Always abandoning beloved and close kin— / Those who delight in doing such things, / Those people shall enter the Scorching Hell. / Malicious toward śramaṇas and brāhmaṇas, / As well as all good people, parents, and the like, / Or harming other venerable ones— / They fall into the Scorching Hell, constantly ablaze. / Constantly creating much evil karma, / Never having given rise to a single wholesome thought— / This person goes straight to the Avīci Hell, / To endure immeasurable suffering and distress. / If one proclaims the true Dharma to be non-Dharma, / And proclaims various non-Dharmas to be the true Dharma, / Having no increase in good deeds— / That person shall enter the Avīci Hell. / Reviving, Black Rope, and the two [Crushing] hells, / With Crushing, Screaming, and the like making five; / Scorching and Great Heat together make seven; / The Avīci Hell is the eighth. / These eight are called the great hells, / Fiercely blazing, severely agonizing, and hard to endure. / Because of what persons of evil karma have done, / Within them are sixteen minor hells.
