11.23

"May the disciples, relying on the merit generated by this kṣamā of hellish retributions, vow that life after life, through the compassion of all Buddhas rescuing sentient beings from suffering, the iron walls of Avīci will immediately be destroyed, and all will be endowed with a pure land without the name of the evil destinies. May all the instruments of suffering in the other hells turn into conditions for bliss: mountains of blades and trees of swords transforming into jewelled couches; boiling cauldrons and stove embers becoming apparitional births on lotuses; ox-headed wardens abandoning cruelty and all generating compassion without evil thoughts. May the sentient beings of the hells be freed from the fruits of suffering and create no further causes, equally receiving peace and joy like that of the third dhyāna, simultaneously bringing forth the unexcelled resolve for awakening."
