Summary
In English
There is a yaksha (half god, half demon) named Kunjarakarna. He meditated on Mount Mahameru so that in his next birth he could become a human and have a handsome face. Once, he was allowed to meet Vairocana (Lord Buddha). By Lord Buddha's grace, the yaksha was allowed to see hell and meet Lord Yama.
There he heard the news that his friend Purnawijaya would die in a few days and be tortured in hell. Kunjarakarna asked Lord Buddha to let him tell his friend. Lord Buddha Vairocana then allowed him to inform his friend.
Purnawijaya was then invited to see hell and prepare to die. He then said goodbye to his wife. Because Purnawijaya and Kunjarakarna were diligent in their conversion before dying, Purnawijaya ended up being tortured in hell for ten days only, then brought back to life.Finally, Purnawijaya and Kunjarakarna meditated on Mount Mahameru and fully engaged in the teachings of Lord Buddha.

In Indonesian
Ada seorang yaksa (makhluk setengah dewa, setengah iblis) bernama Kunjarakarna. Dia bertapa di Gunung Mahameru agar di kelahiran selanjutnya dia bisa menjadi manusia dan memiliki wajah yang tampan. Suatu ketika, dia diizinkan menghadap Wairocana (Sang Buddha). Atas karunia Buddha, yaksa itu diizinkan melihat neraka dan bertemu Batara Yama.
Di sana dia mendengar kabar bahwa temannya Purnawijaya akan mati dalam beberapa hari dan disiksa di neraka. Kunjarakarna memohon kepada Buddha agar dia diperbolehkan memberitahu kawannya. Buddha Wairocana kemudian mengizinkan dia mengabari kawannya.
Purnawijaya kemudian diajak melihat neraka dan bersiap untuk mati. Dia kemudian berpamitan dengan istrinya. Karena Purnawijaya dan Kunjarakarna tekun dalam pertobatan mereka sebelum mati, Purnawijaya akhirnya hanya disiksa di neraka selama sepuluh hari, lalu dihidupkan kembali.Akhirnya, Purnawijaya dan Kunjarakarna bertapa di Gunung Mahameru dan sepenuhnya menekuni ajaran Sang Buddha.
Text Excerpt
Bahasa Kawi/Kuno
In English
Walls of iron, the road is one fathom wide. There, a spirit was being mixed, leveled and cleaned with virgin female cow feces given red andong plants, croton and trees with fragrant flowers. Blended with the smoke of the incense, it smelled good and spread with scattered flowers. The flowers that were blooming were given as an honor that is why sinners are all deluded. They thought it was a path to heaven.[translated by Van der Molen, 1983]
In Balinese
Ipun makakalih wenten ring margi tur raris rauh ring patala loka. Wenten punyan jati sane satata ngendih. Ageng bongkolnyane sadoh anake prasida nyingakin. Raris, irika Kunjarakarna nyingakin jelanan. Sibehnyane temaga, jelanane salaka, seregne mas.
Temboknyane wesi, dawan margine adepa. Irika, wenten atma sedek kacampuh tur kakedasang nganggen tain sampi lua. Atmane katanemin punyan andong, puring lan taru sane masekar miik. Macampuh sareng miik dupa, miiknyane ngalub pisan tur wenten taler sekar kasambehang. Wenten sekar nedeng kembang. Nika mawinan akeh anake sane madosa keni daya. Kaden ipun nika margi nuju swargaloka.
In Indonesian
Temboknya dari besi, jalannya selebar satu depa dan satu roh dibersihkan, diratakan dan dibersihkan dengan tinja sapi perawan betina. Mereka diberi tanaman andong merah, puring dan pohon-pohon yang sedang berbunga harum. Berbaurlah dengan asap dupa, harum semerbuk dan ditebar dengan bunga sebaran. Bunga-bunga yang sedang berkembang diberikan sebagai kehormatan itulah sebab para orang berdosa berbondong-bondong semua. Mereka berpikir itu surga.[Diterjemahkan oleh Van der Molen, 1983]
