All ten nonvirtuous deeds and, in particular, the unrestrained drinking of liquor are acts which can cause us to be born here. They are also boiled in great bronze vats of bubbling molten iron. Afterward, the separated bones rejoin, their bodies are made whole, and they are boiled again in the same way as before. This fire completely burns away and dissolves all the flesh, sinews, and entrails, leaving nothing but bones. Afterward, the bones rejoin, their bodies are restored, and so forth.
Some beings have long bodies that are wrapped in flat strips of burning iron.
Others are wrapped and bound with burning iron thread. Then their bodies are squeezed until the flesh and bones are forced out through spaces in the iron wrapping, like a lump of tsamba dough that oozes out between the fingers of a tightened fist. Some beings are impaled on flaming tridents that extend from the buttocks up to the crown of the head. Then their tongues are stretched out to a distance of many yojanas and driven over with plows and other such instruments. Others are squeezed between two burning iron planks, similar to the way that we place scriptures between wooden boards before wrapping them in cloth.
