7.13
The fourth, the Screaming Great Hell, also has sixteen small hells surrounding it, each five hundred yojanas in length and breadth. Why is it named the Screaming Hell? The hell wardens seize the sinners and cast them into great cauldrons, or place them into great iron cauldrons, boiling the sinners in surging hot broth, who wail and scream in searing and acute suffering. Furthermore, they take those sinners, cast them onto great griddles, and repeatedly fry and sear them. Having endured suffering for a long time, they then exit Screaming, reaching the Black Sand Hell and on through to the Cold Ice Hell, only after which does life end. Because of committing various evil deeds harboring malice and rage, one falls into the Screaming Hell.
