In the

Maha

Avici

Niraya

Hell

Itself

(Avici: a=no; vi=2; ci=what?; No two ways about it; no breaks; unremitting)(Vici; Sanskrit: wave; Vedic; deceit; latin: vices; Anglo Saxon: wice; English: week > wave, tide; change)

And then

The guards of

Niraya Hell

Take that Beggar

And Toss him into

The Great

Unrelenting

Niraya

Hell

Itself

(Sheer Terror)(People there don’t believe anyone exists but themselves. Sound familiar?)

O O O

The horrors

And Woes

Of Dukkha

They Gotta

In Niraya

The Flames

That leap up

Near the west wall

Are

Hurtled

Against

The east wall

(Hurlt with a hurt. Dash together, collision, conflict, clashing sound. To strike against, to drive violently, dash, dart, shoot, fling, cast)

The Flames

That Erupt

Near the East Wall

Are

Hurtled

Against

The West Wall

The Flames

That Burst forth

Near the North wall

Are

Hurtled

Against

The South wall

The Flames

That Flame up

Near the South Wall

Are

Hurled

Against

The North Wall

The Flames

That Effloresce

From the Floor

Are

Hurtled

Against

The Roof

The Flames

That Jump

From the roof

Are

Dashed

Against

The

Floor

There comes a time,

Beggars,

After a long long time,

But sooner or later,

When

The East Exit

Is

Opened

. . . for a spell.

Then

You see

That

Beggar

Move!

He Rushes

Runs

Hurries

Goes

Swiftly

Hauls

Ass

Speeds

Gets his ass

In gear

Gets the lead out

Gets a move on

And

While

He Rushes

Toward

The

East

Exit

Smoke

Gets

In

His

Eyes

The Flames

That leap up

Near the west wall

That erupt

Near the east wall

That burst forth

Near the north wall

That flame up

Near the south wall

That effloresce

From the floor

That jump from the roof

Singe

Off

His

Hair

Scorch

His

Skin

Sere

His

Flesh

Sear

His

Tendons

Burn

His

Bones

And

Wither

Him

Up

Right

Down

To

The

Marrow

And at that

He experiences

Painful

Sensations

Intensely

Painful

Sensations

Acutely

Intense

Painful

Sensations

But

Even though

He has served

Many years

Many hundreds of years

Many thousands of years

Many hundreds

Of thousands

Of years

The

Exit

Is nevertheless

Shut

Before

He

Reaches

It

O O O

The horrors

And woes

Of Dukkha

They gotta

Inni

Niraya

West

Exit

Now

Open

. . . for a spell

Too

Late

I hoida

Noith

Gae

Op’n

For a spell

SOUTH

EXIT’S

OPEN!

SOUTH

EXIT’S

OPEN!

Too

Late

Too

Late

Well

There comes a time

Beggars,

After a long long time

But sooner or later

When that Beggar

Has done his time

In

The

Maha

Avici

Niraya

The Eastern

Exit

Is opened . . .

. . . he rushes . . .

. . . he burns . . .

And

Emerging

From the East Exit

He

Escapes

The

Maha

Avici

Niraya

But

Butting

Up against

The East

Exit . . .

Is

The Maha

Gutha

Niraya

(Gutha: Latin: bubino; excrement, faeces, dung, mire, shit, k-kha, c-cha, du-du, Poo-Poo, j.j., jija)

Down

Inni

Twitchi

Slip’n

Sli

(Gobbletit down boys! Eat up! E a with both han. Stuff ya face. Pleny’nuf ta go roun.)

But there

Are

Creatures,

Beggars,

That live

In that

Gutha

(Born there, growing up there, dying there. Such is the wretched state reached by some beings.)

And

With

Their

Needle-

Sharp

Teeth

They

Cut

Off

His

Hair

(Trim the sides. . . a little off the top.)

They

Eat

Away

At

His

Skin

They

Devour

His

Muscles

(lov those pecs)

Pull

His

Tendons

The

Little Ones

Chew

On

The

Bones

O

And

The Toothless

Suck

Out

His

Marrow

Sing it

With

Me

I wanna

Hear

It!

And at that

He experiences

Painful

Sensations

Intensely

Painful

Sensations

Acutely

Intense

Painful

Sensations

But

He doesn’t

Make an end

Of that

Dukkha

Tile e eat evera

Scrapa on e’s

O O O

The horrors

And woes

Of Dukkha

They gotta inni

Niraya

Next

Up

The

Maha

Kukkula

Niraya

(I hear they run round dress aflame, burning, blazing, in flames -- The Hot Ashes and Burning Embers Hell)

O O O

The

Maha

Simbalavana

Niraya

The Silk-cotton Tree (bombax heptaphyullum) Woods

(Trees 1 yojana high, finger-length thorns -- They make him climb up, they make him climb down)

The

Maha

Asipattavana

Niraya

The Sword-leaf Tree Woods

(The leaves, blown by every passing breeze, slash

This Way

And

That)

(They slash off his hand

or they slash off a foot

or they slash off both hands and feet

They slash of an ear

They slash off his nose

They slash off his hears and nose . . .)

The

Kharodaka

Nadi

Aka Vetarani "styx" woven waters

(Kharod: corrode; >Nirodha; erode, eliminate, eradicate)

(He goes with the stream

He is driven against the stream

He goes with and is driven against the stream)

The Broken Heart

Sanghata

The Finger Snap (murderers)

Etcetera Etcetera Etcetera

In many an additional

Figure could I describe

The Horrors and Woes of

Niraya

But it would be impossible

For me to describe in

Full the Horrors and Woes of

Niraya

So many are

The Horrors

And Woes

Of Niraya

If, Beggars,

That Beggar

After Doing

His Time

Comes once again

To

Human

(manusa)

Status

He is reborn

In a poor

Family

Where it is no easy thing to get

His daily bread

He is ugly

Malformed

Blind

Of little account

Of evil

Downbound

Ways

Of Bad Conduct

In

Thought

Word

And

Deed

Of Poor Sila: Ethical Culture

Bad Tempered

One who lies

Harms

Living

Creatures

Takes other

People’s property (who remembers OPP?)

Has intercourse

With other men’s

Wives

And has wrong Ditthi

And

When the elements

Are cast asunder

At death

He finds

Consciousness

Relocated

To

NIRAYA

Then

Imagine,

Beggars,

(did you hold that first "imagine, Beggars" in mind through all this?)

Some

Beggar

Who likes

To take

A Gamble

Now

And

Then.

Who

Loses

His

Fortune

(a copper pot full of copper coins, a copper pot full of silver coins, a copper pot full of gold coins, a silver pot full of silver coins, a silver pot full of gold coins, a gold pot full of gold coins; his financial advisor; the wheel, the horse, the elephant, the gem, The Woman He Thinks of As The Woman)

With

The

First

Hand

He

Plays

Which is the

Worse,

Beggars,

The fate of that

Beggar of Evil

Downbound Ways,

Or

The fate of that

Beggar who

Loses at

A Gamble?

In the Same Way,

Beggars,

This simile

I have drawn

For you

Doesn’t even

Compare

To the real

Horrors

And

Woes

Of

Niraya

O O O

The Horrors

And

Woes

Of

Dukkha

They Gotta

Inni

Niraya.
