These beings first experience these retributions, and then fall into hell, where they remain for countless kalpas without end.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Having heard these words, the Four Heavenly Kings wept with sorrow, joined their palms, and retreated. Chapter Five: Names of the Hells At that time, Bodhisattva Mahāsattva Samantabhadra (Universal Worthy Bodhisattva) said to Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha (Earth Treasury Bodhisattva): 'Benevolent One! May you, for the sake of the four assemblies of gods and dragons (devas, nāgas, yakshas, gandharvas), and all sentient beings of the future and present, speak of the places of retribution suffered by the sinful and suffering beings of the Saha world and Jambudvipa, that is, the names of the hells, and the matters of evil retribution, so that sentient beings of the future Dharma-ending age may know these karmic retributions.' Ksitigarbha replied: 'Benevolent One! I now, relying on the majestic power of the Buddha, and the strength of the great Bodhisattvas, will briefly speak of the names of the hells, and the matters of karmic retribution and evil retribution. Benevolent One, to the east of Jambudvipa, there is a mountain called the Iron Encircling Mountain (Cakravāda), this mountain is dark and deep, without the light of the sun and moon.
