11.22
"For the Arbuda Hell, the Nirarbuda Hell, the Aṭaṭa Hell, the Hahava Hell, for all such eight cold and eight hot hells, within each hell there being further eighty-four thousand partitioned subsidiary hells as retinue; where the sinful suffering therein—basting and boiling, agonizing pain, peeling skin and scraping flesh, shaving bones and striking marrow, extracting intestines and pulling out lungs—is of boundless sufferings that can neither be heard nor spoken of: Namo the Buddha! May those who are in these today, who may have been our parents or kin throughout births from anādikāla, and we ourselves, who after death might fall again into such hells—today, purifying our minds with utmost and sincere devotion, prostrating and bowing to the ground before the Buddhas and great bodhisattvas of the ten directions, we beg for compassion and confess, so that all these retributive hindrances may be completely extinguished.
