18.16

第五大叫喚地獄。亦有十六小地獄圍遶(大小同前)何故名大叫喚地獄。取彼罪人著大鐵釜中。又置鐵鑊中。熱湯涌沸煮彼罪人。又擲大鐵𨫼上。反覆煎熬。號咷大叫苦痛辛酸。餘罪未畢故使不死。名大叫喚。久受苦已出大叫喚。乃至寒氷地獄。爾乃命終。由習眾邪見。為愛網所牽。造卑陋行。墮大叫喚地獄。

Fifth is the Great Wailing Hell. It also has sixteen minor hells surrounding it (their sizes are as before). Why is it called the Great Wailing Hell? The sinners are taken and put into large iron cauldrons, or placed in iron caldrons where boiling-hot water roils and cooks those sinners. They are also cast upon great iron griddles and repeatedly fried and roasted. They wail and cry out loudly in piercing agony and distress. Because their remaining transgressions are not yet exhausted, it makes them not die; thus it is called the Great Wailing [Hell]. After enduring suffering for a long time, they exit the Great Wailing [Hell] and proceed all the way to the Freezing Ice Hell, and only then does their life come to an end. It is due to practicing multiple wrong views, being pulled along by the snare of craving, and committing base and vulgar deeds, that they fall into the Great Wailing Hell.
