[224] [Jivajivaabhigamsutra] The ground of the hellish realms is stained with the mud of fat, grease, pus, blood, and flesh, repeatedly smeared. [Asuibibbachha] Due to the mud of fat, etc., they are extremely repulsive and disgusting. [Parmaduhbhigandha] These hellish realms are extremely foul-smelling. They emit a stench like that of dead animal carcasses. [Kauvaganivannabha] Just as the flame of fire turns very black when iron is heated, so are these hellish realms of that color. [Kakhkadfasa] The touch of these hellish realms is extremely rough. Like the edge of a sword, the touch there is unbearable. [Durahiasa] These hellish realms are so painful that it is very difficult to endure their suffering. [Asuabhaveyana] These hellish realms are very inauspicious! Their inauspiciousness is evident just by looking at them. The color, smell, taste, touch, and sound there are all inauspicious. And the suffering that the beings experience there is also extremely unbearable, hence the epithet "Asuabhaveyana". There are three types of unbearable suffering in the hellish realms.
The statement made regarding the Ratnapraba earth applies to the Sharkarapraba earth as well. Only the thickness of the Sharkarapraba earth and the number of its hellish realms should be added as a qualifier. For example, the text related to the Sharkarapraba earth would be as follows: "Sakkarappamae nam bhantae! Pudhaviye battisuttar-joyanasayasahassabahllaae uri kevaiyam ogaahitta hettha kevaiyam vajjetta majjhe chev kevaie kevaiya nirayaavassayasahassa pannatta? Goyama! Sakkarappabhaae battisuttar-joyanasayasahassabahllaae uri ega joyanasahassam ogaahitta heva ega joyanasahassam vajjetta majjhe tisuttar joyanasayasahasse, ettha nam sakkarappabhaae pudhavineraiyaanam panavisa narayaavassayasaya sahassa bhavanti ti makkaay, te nam naraga anto vattha jaav asubhanaraesu veyana /"
Similarly, the text for Balukapraba, Pankapraba, Dhumapraba, and Tamahpraba, and the seventh earth below should be stated. The thickness of all the earths and the number of hellish realms should be known from the following bracket: 1. The following Sangahani gathas are useful in this regard:
Paasiyam battisam atthavisaam tahev visaam cha / Attharasa solagam atthattaramaev hitthimaya // 1 //
Atthattaram cha tisam chhanvisaam chev sayasahassam tu / Attharasa solagam choisamaahiyam tu chhattie // 2 //
Addhativannasahassa uvarimhae vajjiuun bhaniya. Majjhe tisusahasse su honti niraya tamtamaae // 3 //
Tisa ya pannavisa pannavrasa dasa chev sayasahassaai / Tinnni ya panchanaga pancheva anattara niraya // 4 //
