## Dasha Shruta Skandha Sutra
## Sixth Dasha
The same intensity is there. Due to the absence of the Jyotishchakra, there is continuous darkness. The Parmadharmi Devas, to give pain to the Narakis, create many undesirable substances through Vaikriya (Vikurvana), such as: Med (Charvi), Vasa, Mans, Rudhir, and Put, etc. They use these Vikurvanas to coat the surface of the earth. The intense smell of these foul substances pervades all of Naraka. All substances there are hot, like the glow of Krishnagni. The Naraki Jivas constantly experience unbearable pain. Their Nidra, Prachala (sitting and sleeping), Smriti, Rati, Buddhi, Dhriti, etc., are all destroyed. Due to this, they constantly experience bright, pure, abundant, deep, harsh, bitter, fierce, angry, rough, inaccessible, extremely painful, and intense pain while wandering. The implication is that there is no happiness in Naraka, even for a moment. One has to constantly experience intense pain there. All this pain is the result of the bad Karmas performed in the previous birth, when the soul was a follower of the Nastik Mat.
Now, the Sutrakar strengthens the above subject with an example:
Just as a tree named "Nama" grows on a mountain, with its roots cut off, and it falls down because it is low, difficult, and uneven, similarly, a man born in this world, from womb to womb, from birth to birth, from death to death, from pain to pain, will become a Dakshina-Gami-Nairyika, Krishna-Pakshiya, and will come to a time when it is difficult to find a Bodhi. And he will also become an Akriya-Vadi.
