They are unbearable and inauspicious hells. / In those hells, the suffering is inauspicious. In these (such hells), the locations of the sufficient and insufficient **Nairāyikas** of the **Valukāprabhāpṛthvī** are said. / In terms of **Upāpāta** (a type of rebirth), they are in an immeasurable part of the **Loka** (universe); in terms of **Samudghāta** (a type of rebirth), they are in an immeasurable part of the **Loka**; and in terms of **Sva-sthāna** (a type of rebirth), they are also in an immeasurable part of the **Loka**. / In them, many **Nairāyikas** of the **Valukāprabhāpṛthvī** reside.
