- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [12.19](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.441.12.19)

寶達頃前更入一地獄，名曰飛刀地獄。其地獄縱廣十五由旬，鐵壁周匝鐵網覆上，其城四角火風猛利來吹鐵山，其山相磨則成利刀，其刀兩刃亦如鋒釯，虛空銝銝𬬔𬬔亦如雷聲，刀刀相鈸亦如霹靂，從空而來刺罪人頭，從頭而入足下而出，從背上入胸前而出，左出右入煙火俱然，一日一夜受罪萬端，千生千死萬生萬死，若得為人身，生惡瘡遍體周匝。

> Shortly after, Baoda entered yet another hell, called the Hell of Flying Knives. That hell was fifteen yojanas in length and breadth, enclosed on all sides by iron walls and covered above with an iron net. Fierce winds of fire blew from the four corners of that citadel against iron mountains; as the mountains ground against one another, they turned into sharp knives, and those knives were double-edged, like needle tips. Through the void they clanged and clashed like thunder, and the knives struck against one another like lightning bolts, descending from the sky to pierce the sinners' heads, entering from their heads and exiting from under their feet, entering through their backs and exiting from their chests, coming out on the left and entering on the right, as smoke and fire blazed together. In a single day and night they endured myriads of torments, dying a thousand deaths and living a thousand lives, dying ten thousand deaths and living ten thousand lives. If they ever obtained human form, foul sores would break out covering their whole bodies all over.
