The Tenth Chapter
213. "They are made to dry like flesh, hung on iron rods, and roasted in fire. Others are thrown head-down from the top of mountains. 5. Some are pierced with sharp hooks in their vital parts and joints, and their nails are pierced with red-hot needles, causing excruciating pain. 59. Others are impaled on sharp spikes, their intestines hanging out, their bodies red with blood. 60. Those whose bodies are mangled with wounds are sprinkled with saline water. This revives them from their swoon. 61. Some are thrown down from high mountains, and then mercilessly beaten with hundreds of vajra fists. 62. Others are struck with maces by cruel tormentors, their eyeballs falling out. 63. Asuras make others fight each other, using them as battering rams, their heads bursting with a loud sound, and their brains and flesh oozing out. 64. Those who were once arrogant are made to sit on red-hot iron seats and are laid down on beds of sharp thorns. 65. Thus, experiencing unbearable and terrible torment in hell, the terrified hell-beings are filled with anxiety. 66. Alas! This earth, heated by flames, is difficult to endure. The wind blows, carrying sparks, and its touch is unbearable. 67. These burning directions create the fear of fire in all directions. Rain falls from the sky, composed of burning embers. 68."
How many hell-beings are there? Some are hung on iron rods like flesh, and roasted in fire until they become dry like valloora (dry flesh).
And how many are thrown head-down from the top of mountains? Some are pierced with sharp hooks in their vital parts and joints, and their nails are pierced with red-hot needles, causing excruciating pain. 59. How many are impaled on sharp spikes, their intestines hanging out, their bodies red with blood? 60. Those whose bodies are mangled with wounds are sprinkled with saline water. This revives them from their swoon. 61. How many are thrown down from high mountains, and then mercilessly beaten with hundreds of vajra fists? 62. How many are struck with maces by cruel tormentors, their eyeballs falling out? 63. Asuras make others fight each other, using them as battering rams, their heads bursting with a loud sound, and their brains and flesh oozing out. 64.
