The Chinese translation of Avi^ci， which means "endless hell" or "the hell of unremitting pain，"--transcribed as 阿鼻. It is the eighth of the eight burning hells 八热地狱， and those who are trapped there undergo continuous suffering without a moment's pause. Those who commit the five heinous crimes 五逆罪， or who slander the great vehicle， are considered to be reborn here.
