Definition in this text:

An ājīvika ascetic who asks King Ambara, a previous life of Śākyamuni, for his genitalia. Also the name of an eastern buddha realm. The Sanskrit is also the name for one of the hells, which in Tibetan is rendered yang sos. In the traditional Buddhist list of eight hot hells, this is the “reviving” hell where beings are repeatedly killed.
