14.51

The hell wardens dragged their bodies into the hell, where iron stakes pierced their bodies upright. As blood flowed from their bodies, fire entered within. Furthermore, hungry ghosts came to eat their flesh, hungry dogs came to drink their blood, iron crows came to peck at their sinews, and fierce winds blew upon the sinners. In a single day and night they suffered a myriad kinds of torment, dying a thousand times and being reborn a thousand times, dying ten thousand times and being reborn ten thousand times. Even if they attained human rebirth, they would be impoverished, ignorant, and unable to understand the Buddha's words.
