Description of manuscript content:

The text mentions about Sañjīva (reviving) - the hell of repetitions implying that suffering has no end because one does not die in hell. In the Sañjīva hell beings hang with their feet up and their heads down, and are trimmed with axes and knives. Carried away by frenzy of anger they fight among themselves, using their won sharp claws of iron. Sharp knives also grow from their hands, and with them these utterly demented beings rend one another.
