8.18

A short while ago, Baoda entered a Tongue-Pulling Hell. Why is it called the Tongue-Pulling Hell? That hell is fifty yojanas in length and breadth, enclosed all around by iron walls and covered above with an iron net. At the gate is a bronze hound ten yojanas in size, with fire shooting from its mouth and eyes. In that hell, knife blades naturally sharp as needle-points burn with blazing, fiercely bright fire. At the four corners of the iron wall are large venomous serpents with their mouths opened wide, fire shooting from their mouths and eyes to burn the sinners, and warden-yakṣas hold large iron plows to plow the sinners' tongues.
