- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [3.21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.441.3.21)

爾時，寶達菩薩更入地獄，名為鐵衣地獄。其地獄縱廣方圓十六由旬，其地獄中有鐵𨪏𮣮，銐如鋒釯遍布其地，烟焰烔然鐵衣火然，火燒炎赫遊行獄中。東門之中有八百沙門，仰頭呼天椎胸大叫，唱如是言：「我今何罪來入此中？」宛轉倒地不能復前。馬頭羅剎手捉三股鐵叉，望背而撞胸前而出，遍身火然。馬頭羅剎手捉鐵鉤，望骸而鎝，鐵鉤若著火焰俱起。罪人宛轉而不肯來，馬頭羅剎手捉鐵捧望頭而鎚。復有鐵狗來食其肉，復有餓鬼來飲其血，其地獄中鐵衣撩亂來著罪人，或有着頭，或有着脚遍身火然，一日一夜受罪無量。

> At that time, Baoda Bodhisattva went further into a hell named the Iron Clothes Hell. That hell was sixteen yojanas in length, breadth, and circumference. In that hell there were iron caltrops, sharp as sword points, spread completely over the ground. Smoke and flames blazed intensely, iron garments burned with fire, and the blazing heat of the fires roamed throughout the hell. At the eastern gate there were eight hundred śramaṇas looking up to heaven and crying out, beating their chests and wailing loudly, uttering these words: 'What offense have I committed today to enter this place?' Rolling on the ground, they could not move forward. A horse-headed rākṣasa held a three-pronged iron fork in his hand; aiming at their backs he struck through, coming out of the front of their chests, their whole bodies ablaze with fire. The horse-headed rākṣasa held an iron hook in his hand, aiming at their skeletons to hook them; wherever the iron hook caught, flames arose together with it. The sinners writhed and were unwilling to come; the horse-headed rākṣasa held an iron club in his hand, aiming at their heads to hammer them. There were also iron dogs that came to eat their flesh, and hungry ghosts that came to drink their blood. The iron garments in that hell flew about wildly to attach to the sinners, some attaching to their heads, some attaching to their feet, their whole bodies ablaze with fire, undergoing immeasurable punishment day and night.
