7.20
寶達頃前更入一地獄,名為火象地獄。其地獄中自然而有火象,其象身甚長大,象身火然烟焰俱出,其象口眼亦有火然。罪人見之迫迮號泣而不肯前,獄卒夜叉叉著象上,其象跳踉罪人墮地,地上火燃燒然其身,一日一夜千死千生萬死萬生,從地獄出若生人中身不具足,黃門二根不男石女。
Soon after, Baoda entered yet another hell, called the Fire-Elephant Hell. In that hell there were naturally fire-elephants. The bodies of these elephants were exceedingly huge; fire burned upon their bodies, spewing forth smoke and flames together, and fire also blazed from their mouths and eyes. When the sinners saw them, being crowded and pressed, they wailed and were unwilling to advance. The jailer yakṣas pitchforked them onto the elephants; the elephants leapt and bucked, so the sinners fell to the ground, where fires blazed and scorched their bodies. In a single day and a single night, they died a thousand times and were reborn a thousand times, died ten thousand times and were reborn ten thousand times. Emerging from the hell, if born among humans, their bodies would be incomplete—eunuchs, hermaphrodites, impotent men, or barren women.
