5.22

佛告阿難：「云何名沸屎地獄？沸屎地獄者：八十由旬十八鐵城，一一鐵城有十八鬲；一一鬲中四壁皆有百億萬劍樹，地如刀刃，刃厚三尺，於其刃上百千蒺梨不可稱計；一一蒺梨及劍樹間，生諸鐵蟲其數無量；一一鐵蟲有百千頭；一一頭有百千嘴，嘴頭皆有百千蚘蟲口吐熱屎，沸如融銅滿鐵城內，上有鐵網鐵烏。世間自有眾生破八戒齋，污沙彌戒、沙彌尼戒、污式叉摩尼戒、自污淨戒、污比丘戒、比丘尼戒、污優婆塞戒、優婆夷戒。諸比丘、比丘尼、諸優婆塞及優婆夷、沙彌、沙彌尼、式叉摩尼，如是七眾及餘一切，污僧淨飯、污父母食，偷竊先噉，不淨手捉，及僧知事以自恃故污僧淨食，四部弟子以不淨身坐僧祇床，犯偷蘭遮久不懺悔，虛食僧食，坐僧眾中與僧布薩。如是眾多無量不淨惡業罪人，臨命終時，舉身皆香如麝香子，不可堪處，即作是念：『當於何處不聞此香，如此香氣猶如狂風來熏我心。』作此念已，獄卒羅剎自化己身，猶如畫瓶中盛糞穢，至罪人所以手摩觸，令彼罪人心生愛着。氣絕命終，猶如風吹墮沸屎中，墮已糜爛眾蟲唼食，東西走時削骨徹髓，飢渴逼故飲熱沸屎，蚘蟲、疽蟲唼其舌根，一日一夜，九十億生九十億死，罪畢乃出生貧賤家，繫屬於他不得自在。設生世時，恒值惡王屬邪見主，種種惡事逼切其身，癭瘇惡瘡以為衣服，宿世聞法善因緣故，遇善知識出家學道成阿羅漢，三明六通具八解脫。」

The Buddha told Ānanda: "What is called the boiling excrement hell? As for the boiling excrement hell: there are eighteen iron cities of eighty yojanas; each iron city has eighteen compartments; in each compartment, all four walls have hundreds of billions of sword-trees. The ground is like knife blades, the blades three feet thick; upon these blades are hundreds of thousands of caltrops, beyond calculation. Between each caltrop and sword-tree, various iron worms are born in immeasurable numbers; each iron worm has a hundred thousand heads; each head has a hundred thousand mouths; at the tip of each mouth are a hundred thousand roundworms vomiting hot excrement, boiling like molten copper, filling the iron city. Above are iron nets and iron crows. In the world, there are sentient beings who break the eightfold abstinence precepts, defile the novice monk's precepts or the novice nun's precepts, defile the probationary nun's precepts, defile their own pure precepts, defile the monk's precepts or the nun's precepts, or defile the upāsaka precepts or the upāsikā precepts. The monks, nuns, upāsakas, upāsikās, novice monks, novice nuns, and probationary nuns—these seven assemblies and all others—defile the sangha's pure food, defile their parents' food, stealing and eating it first, handling it with impure hands; or monastic administrators, relying on their own authority, defile the sangha's pure food; or disciples of the four assemblies, with impure bodies, sit upon the sangha's communal beds; or commit sthūlātyaya offenses without repenting for a long time; eating the sangha's food in vain; and sitting among the assembly of the sangha to participate in the poṣadha with the sangha. When such numerous and immeasurable sinful people of impure, evil karma approach death, their entire bodies become fragrant like musk deer glands, unbearable [to smell]. They then think: 'Where can I go so as not to smell this fragrance? Such a scent is like a mad wind coming to熏 [fume and disturb] my heart.' Having formed this thought, the rākṣasa hell wardens transform their own bodies to resemble painted vases filled with feces and filth; they go to the sinful person's place and touch him with their hands, causing love and attachment to arise in that sinful person's mind. His breath expires and he dies, and like being blown by the wind, he falls into the boiling excrement. Having fallen in, he festers and rots, gnawed and eaten by numerous worms; as he runs to the east and west, his bones are scraped through to the marrow. Pressed by hunger and thirst, he drinks the hot, boiling excrement, and roundworms and maggot worms gnaw at the root of his tongue. In a single day and single night, he undergoes ninety billion births and ninety billion deaths. When his sin is exhausted, he is born into an impoverished and lowly family, bound to others without freedom. Even when born in the world, he constantly encounters evil kings and belongs to masters with wrong views; various evil occurrences press upon his body, and goiters, swellings, and malignant sores serve as his garments. Due to the wholesome causal condition of having heard the Dharma in past lives, he encounters a kalyāṇamitra, leaves home to train in the Path, and becomes an arhat, endowed with the three knowledges, the six supernormal powers, and complete in the eight liberations."
