## Hellish Torment: A Translation of Jain Text
**Verse 10:**
The denizens of hell are pierced with sharp, fiery spears, like a captured beast. They cry out in pain, their suffering is twofold, both internal and external.
**Commentary:**
The guardians of hell, with their fiery, ethereal spears, pierce the souls of the damned. They are like captured animals, helpless and at the mercy of their tormentors. The damned, though pierced, do not die. They only cry out in anguish, their suffering is unending. They are devoid of joy, both within and without, and experience only pain.
**Verse 11:**
There is a place of torment, always burning, where a fire burns without fuel. The wicked are bound there, their cries echoing, their suffering prolonged.
**Commentary:**
There is a place of torment, always burning, where a fire burns without fuel. This place is vast and terrible. The wicked, bound by their past deeds, are forced to endure this torment. They cry out in anguish, their suffering unending.
