11.16

"At the four gates of its walls there are four great bronze hounds, their bodies forty yojanas in length and breadth, with fangs and claws sharp as blades, and eyes like lightning. There are also boundless iron-beaked birds soaring and swooping to peck at the sinners' flesh. The ox-headed wardens have forms like rākṣasas, with nine tails resembling iron forks; they also have eight heads, atop which are eighteen horns and sixty-four eyes, and from every single eye there burst forth hot iron pellets burning the sinners' flesh, and when they fly into anger and roar, the sound is like a thunderclap.
