**Creation and Types of Hells:**
There are two types of hells in the six earths, starting from the first Ratnapraba earth and ending with the sixth Tamahpraba earth: **Pravalikapravisht** and **Prakirnak**. The hells that are arranged in a row are **Pravalikapravisht**, and those that are scattered are **Prakirnak**.
**Ratnapraba Earth:**
* Ratnapraba earth has thirteen **Prastara** (layers). Each **Prastara** is like a house.
* The first **Prastara** has 49 hells in each of the four directions (East, West, North, South) and 48 hells in each of the four intermediate directions (Northeast, Southeast, Northwest, Southwest). In the middle is a **Narakendraka** called **Simantaka**.
* In the remaining twelve **Prastara**, the number of hells decreases by eight in each direction and intermediate direction.
* Therefore, the first **Prastara** has 389 hells, the second has 381, the third has 373, and so on.

* In the remaining ten **Prastara**, the number of hells decreases by eight in each direction and intermediate direction.
* In total, there are 2695 **Pravalikapravisht** hells in the eleven **Prastara** of Sharkara Praba earth.
* The remaining 2,497,305 hells are **Prakirnak**.
* In total, there are 2.5 million hells in the second Sharkara Praba earth.
