[262] [Jiva-Jivami-gama-sutra] The Nairyaika Jivas, when cooked in cauldrons and pierced with spears, etc., are terrified and writhe in agony, leaping up to five hundred yojanas. They leap from a minimum of one kos to a maximum of five hundred yojanas. [7] There is also a reading: "The Nairyaika Jivas, who are constantly being cooked in the hells, do not even have a moment of happiness, not even for the blink of an eye. There is only suffering, constant suffering." [8] The pudgala of the Nairyaika's Vaikriya body is shattered into thousands of pieces as soon as the Jiva leaves the body. The disintegration of other bodies is also mentioned in this context. The Tejas Karman body, the Sukshma body (i.e., the body of the Sukshma Namkarma), the bodies of the Paryapta and Aparyapta Jivas, the Audarika body, the Vaikriya and Praharaka bodies are also subtle, not perceptible to the naked eye, and the bodies of the Aparyapta Jivas disintegrate as soon as they are left by the Jivas. The atoms of their bodies are shattered. [9] These Naraka Jivas constantly experience hundreds of types of suffering in the hells, such as extreme cold, extreme heat, extreme thirst, extreme hunger, extreme fear, etc. [10] After the above ten verses, the eleventh verse summarizes all that has been said in the previous verses, which is clear from the original meaning. Thus, the third objective of the Naraka description is complete. With this, the description of the Nairyaikas is also complete. [1] "Neraiyanuppamo Gauya Ukkoas Pancajoyanasyai" - this is a reading in some places.
