English version: In the extremely painful Avici Hell (Avici Hell, the Hell of Incessant Suffering), it is under the jurisdiction of Yama (Yama), the King of the Law. What is called the extremely heavy law? That Yama speaks of the retribution of killing day and night in six periods, with ten evil karmas: ‘First, the karma of killing constantly causes one to be born in the Hell of Blazing Sword Mountains, suffering the cutting of sword wheels, dismemberment of limbs, into eighty-four thousand pieces. One day and one night, one experiences sixty billion births and sixty billion deaths. At this time, Yama rebukes the sinner: ‘You enjoyed killing, now endure this suffering. Is this enjoyable? You must now repay the debts of others for hundreds of thousands of kalpas (kalpa, aeon), and you will never be able to finish!’ ‘Second, the karma of killing will certainly cause one to be born in the Sword Forest Hell, where there are eighty-four thousand sword trees, each eighty-four thousand yojanas (yojana, an ancient Indian unit of distance) high. Each tree grows eighty-four thousand sword branches, each branch grows eighty-four thousand sword flowers, and each flower bears eighty-four thousand sword fruits. This killer climbs the sword tree, his mind pervading the tops of all the sword trees, and the rest of his limbs pervading the entire sword forest. Each joint pervades eighty-four thousand sword branches, scraping bones and penetrating marrow, and sword flowers and sword fruits are all pervasive, the body is shattered and destroyed, like lepidium seeds. One day and one night, one experiences eighty-four thousand births and eighty-four thousand deaths. The karma of killing is like this. At this time, Yama rebukes the sinner: ‘You enjoyed killing, now endure this suffering. Is this enjoyable? You must now repay the debts of others for hundreds of thousands of kalpas, and you will never be able to finish!’ ‘Third, the karma of killing causes one to be born in the Cauldron of Boiling Water Hell, where in the boiling cauldron, the flesh is completely cooked away, revealing the bones, and then placed on a copper pillar, naturally reviving, hundreds of thousands of thorns transforming into iron knives, cutting off one's own flesh to eat, and then falling back into the soup. One day and one night, one experiences eighty-four thousand births and eighty-four thousand deaths. At this time, Yama rebukes the sinner: ‘You enjoyed killing, now endure this suffering. Is this enjoyable? You must now repay the debts of others for hundreds of thousands of kalpas, and you will never be able to finish!’ ‘Fourth, the karma of killing causes one to be born in the Iron Bed Hell, where there is an iron bed, fifty yojanas in length and width, with iron spikes on all four sides... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: Laishexin (name of a hell), a huge iron net cart crushes the top of the sinner's head, splitting the soles of their feet. In one day and one night, they experience eighty-four thousand births and eighty-four thousand deaths. Such is the karma of killing. At this time, Yama (the King of Hell) rebukes the sinner: 'You enjoyed killing, now you suffer this pain. Is this enjoyable? You must now repay the debts to others for hundreds of thousands of kalpas (an immense period of time), and you will never be able to finish!' 'Fifthly, the karma of killing leads to the Iron Mountain Hell. The four iron mountains are shaped like iron caves, and fire emerges from the caves from all four directions. There are five Yakshas (guardian deities) who chop the sinner's body into four pieces and throw them into the fire. The four mountains then merge, crushing the sinner into dust. Firebirds suddenly rise, and iron-beaked birds and iron snakes enter from the joints, breaking bones and extracting marrow. In one day and one night, they experience eighty-four thousand births and eighty-four thousand deaths. Such is the karma of killing. At this time, Yama rebukes the sinner: 'You enjoyed killing, now you suffer this pain. Is this enjoyable? You must now repay the debts to others for hundreds of thousands of kalpas, and you will never be able to finish!' 'Sixthly, the karma of killing leads to the Iron Net Hell. There is a great iron mountain, hundreds of thousands of yojanas (a unit of distance) high, filled with molten iron. An iron net is above the mountain, and between each mesh of the net are countless iron-beaked insects that enter from the top of the sinner's head, piercing through bone and marrow, and splitting the soles of their feet. In one day and one night, they experience eighty-four thousand births and eighty-four thousand deaths. Such is the karma of killing. At this time, Yama rebukes the sinner: 'You enjoyed killing, now you suffer this pain. Is this enjoyable? You must now repay the debts to others for hundreds of thousands of kalpas, and you will never be able to finish!' 'Seventhly, the karma of killing leads to the Red Lotus Hell. There is a lotus flower with eighty-four thousand petals. Each petal is shaped like a mountain of knives, five yojanas (a unit of distance) high. Hundreds of millions of sword forests simultaneously burn with fire. The sinner sits in the lotus. When one petal opens, the volcano and sword forest burn the sinner's flesh and break their bones, causing endless suffering. When these scenes merge, hundreds of thousands of knife mountains simultaneously cut the sinner. In one day and one night, they experience eighty-four thousand births and eighty-four thousand deaths. Such is the karma of killing.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
