Elaboration-The names of fifteen gods-Some living beings who indulge in cruel acts with cruel attitude during their past births reincarnate in the genus of Asurs due to senseless mortification of the body through ignorant austerities. They are called Paramarthik Asurs. They descend till the third hell and derive pleasure in torturing infernal beings and seeing them suffer pain. Their attribute-based names are as follows

(3) Shyam-They are black and they toss and beat infernal beings in terrible spots. (4) Shabal-They are of speckled colour and they snatch out the intestines, nerves and levers of the infernal beings. (5) Rudra-They are ferocious Asurs who pierce through the bodies of infernal beings with spears and lances. (6) Uparudra-They are terrible Asurs who tear apart limbs and other parts of the bodies of infernal beings. (7) Kaal-The black coloured Asurs who fry infernal beings in cauldrons. (8) Mahakaal-The deep black coloured Asurs who cut infernal beings to pieces and feed them. (9) Asipatra-They create sword shaped leaves and throw them over infernal beings. (10) Dhanush-They cut and pierce nose and ears of infernal beings by launching arrows of different shapes. (11) Kumbh-They cook infernal beings in large or small pitchers. (12) Balu-They roast infernal beings in heaps of diamond and other shaped sand particles. (13) VaitaraniThey throw infernal beings in a river of blood, flash, pus, molten copper, molten lead, and other molten metals, and force them to swim. (14) Kharasvar-They force infernal beings to climb on thorn filled Shalmali trees and then drag them mingling harsh shouts with their pathetic wailing. (15) Mahaghosh-They catch infernal beings running with fear and scream with joy. (Vritti, leaf 198; Bhagavati Sutra by Pt. Ghevar Chand, part-2, pp. 719-720)
