5.18

佛告阿難：「云何名為十八小熱地獄？十八小熱地獄者，如阿鼻獄，亦七重城、七重鐵網，無量諸惡以為莊嚴。自有眾生，不順師教興惡逆心，不知恩養，盜師害師，污師淨食，坐師床座，捉師鉢盂藏去不淨，作五種惡。云何為五：所謂罵師、謗師、打師、殺師、以諸毒藥持以飲師。若沙門、婆羅門，作諸非法害師謗師，此罪惡人無有慚愧，剝像破塔劫法寶物，殺伯叔、父母、兄弟姊妹。如是罪人命欲終時，阿鼻地獄十八獄卒，各以鐵叉擎一鬲獄，如是眾獄如大寶蓋，雨微細雨雨渧如華。此人罪報熱惱入心，如火燒已見雨清涼，即作念言：『願我得坐廕蓋之下，涼雨灑我不亦樂耶！』作是語已氣絕命終，如擲毱頃，即便坐於大劍床上，百億劍刃，刃皆出火燒刺其身，空中寶蓋化為火輪，從上而下直劈其頂，其身碎裂為數千段，上雨銅丸從毛孔入，獄卒羅剎以大鐵叉刺罪人眼，或以鐵箭射其心者，悶絕而死。須臾還活坐劍床上，旋嵐猛風吹墮地獄。既入獄已，時閻羅王與宮殿俱在虛空中，告言：『獄種！汝作眾惡，殺師謗師，汝今生處名拔舌阿鼻，汝在此獄當經三劫。』作是語已即滅不現，此獄苦痛如上所說」。

The Buddha told Ānanda: "What are called the eighteen minor hot hells? As for the eighteen minor hot hells, like the Avīci hell, they also have seven layers of walls and seven layers of iron nets, with immeasurable evils as their adornments. There are sentient beings who do not obey their master's teachings and give rise to rebellious evil minds, not recognizing kindness and nurture, stealing from the master and harming the master, defiling the master's pure food, sitting upon the master's bed and seat, grasping the master's alms-bowl and concealing it as impure, committing five kinds of evils. What are the five? Namely: reviling the master, slandering the master, beating the master, killing the master, and holding various poisons to give the master to drink. If śramaṇas or brāhmaṇas commit various non-dharmas, harming their masters and slandering their masters, these sinful evil people lack all shame and conscience, stripping images, destroying stūpas, plundering Dharma treasures, and killing uncles, parents, brothers, and sisters. When such sinful people are about to die, eighteen hell wardens of the Avīci hell each raise an enclosed compartment hell with an iron fork. These multiple hells are like a great jeweled canopy, raining down fine rain with raindrops like flowers. Because of this person's sinful retribution, feverish distress enters his heart; having been burned by fire, seeing the rain as refreshing and cool, he immediately thinks: 'May I be able to sit beneath the sheltering canopy; having the cool rain sprinkle upon me, would that not be delightful!' Having spoken these words, his breath expires and he dies. In the brief time it takes to throw a ball, he immediately sits upon a great bed of swords. A hundred billion sword blades, the blades all shooting forth fire, burn and pierce his body. In the sky, the jeweled canopy transforms into a wheel of fire, which splits his crown straight down from above. His body shatters into several thousand pieces. From above, molten copper pellets rain down, entering his pores. The rākṣasa hell wardens pierce the sinful person's eyes with great iron forks, or shoot iron arrows into his heart, so that he faints and dies. In an instant, he revives and sits upon the bed of swords, and a violent whirlwind blows him down into hell. Having entered the hell, Yamarāja at that time, together with his palace, appears in the sky and proclaims: 'Hell-seed! You committed multiple evils, killing your master and slandering your master. The place where you are now born is called Tongue-Extracting Avīci; in this hell you shall spend three kalpas.' Having spoken these words, he vanishes and is no longer seen. The agony of this hell is as explained above."
