《輔行》云：「地獄從義立名，謂地下之獄，名為地獄。」故《婆沙》云：「贍部洲下，過五百踰繕那，乃有其獄。」然此地獄有大有小。如《大論》云：「言八大獄者：一活，二黑繩，三合會，四叫喚，五大叫喚，六熱，七大熱，八阿鼻地獄。如是等種種八大地獄，復有十六小地獄為眷屬：八寒氷，八炎火。言八炎火地獄者：一名炭坑，二名沸屎，三名燒林，四名劍林，五名刀道，六名鐵刺林，七名鹹河，八名銅橛。八寒氷獄者：一名頞浮陀，少多有孔；二名尼羅浮陀，無孔；三名呵羅羅，寒顫聲也；四名阿婆婆，亦患寒聲；五名睺睺，亦是患寒聲；六名漚波羅，此地獄氷逼作青蓮華色；七名波頭摩，紅蓮華色，罪人生中受苦也；八摩訶波頭摩，其中受苦，隨其作業各有輕重，其最重處，作上品五逆十惡者感此道身。」

> The Fuxing says: "'Hell' (diyu) is a name established from its meaning, referring to a prison beneath the earth (dixia zhi yu), which is called 'earth prison' (diyu)." Thus the Mahāvibhāṣā says: "Beneath Jambudvīpa, beyond five hundred yojanas, there are its prisons." However, these hells have large and small ones. As the Mahāprajñāpāramitopadeśa says: "Regarding the eight great hells: first, Sañjīva; second, Kālasūtra; third, Saṃghāta; fourth, Raurava; fifth, Mahāraurava; sixth, Tapana; seventh, Pratāpana; eighth, Avīci Hell. Such are the various eight great hells, which further have sixteen minor hells as their retinue: eight cold and icy, and eight fiery. The eight fiery hells are: first, Charcoal Pit; second, Boiling Excrement; third, Burning Forest; fourth, Forest of Swords; fifth, Path of Blades; sixth, Forest of Iron Thorns; seventh, Salty River; eighth, Copper Stakes. The eight cold icy hells are: first, Arbuda, with a few holes; second, Nirarbuda, with no holes; third, Hahava, the sound of shivering from cold; fourth, Ahaha, also the sound of suffering from cold; fifth, Atata, also the sound of suffering from cold; sixth, Utpala, where the ice of this hell forces one into the color of a blue lotus; seventh, Padma, the color of a red lotus, wherein sinners suffer; eighth, Mahāpadma, wherein they suffer; according to the karma they have created, each has lightness and heaviness, and in its most severe places, those who commit the superior grade of the five heinous sins and the ten unwholesome deeds receive bodies in this destiny."
