26.18
"May we disciples, relying on the merits generated by this kṣamā of hell retributions, through life after life, by the compassion of all Buddhas saving the sufferings of sentient beings, instantly destroy the iron city of Avīci, granting pure lands to all without the name of evil destinies. May all the instruments of torture in the other hells be transformed into causes of joy: sword mountains and blade trees turned into jeweled groves, boiling cauldrons and furnace coals transformed into lotus births, and ox-headed hell-wardens abandoning cruelty to give rise to loving-kindness without evil thoughts. May the sentient beings of the hells be freed from the fruits of suffering and no longer create its causes, equally enjoying peace and joy like that of the third dhyāna, and all simultaneously generating the mind of supreme awakening (bodhicitta)."
