[140] [Prajñāpanā Sūtra 171. "Bhagavan! Where are the locations of the sufficient and insufficient Nairyāyikas of the Pankaprabhā earth described?" [171 U.] "Gautama! It is said that within the Pankaprabhā earth, which is one hundred and twenty thousand yojanas thick, there are ten lakh Narakavāsas (hells) in the middle region, after crossing one thousand yojanas from the top and leaving one thousand yojanas from the bottom, spanning one hundred and eighteen thousand yojanas. These Narakas are round inside, square outside, and have the shape of a chisel at the bottom. They are always enveloped in darkness, devoid of the light of planets, moon, sun, stars, and other celestial bodies. Their floors are covered with a layer of fat, grease, pus, blood, and flesh, making them impure, repulsive, and extremely foul-smelling. They are the color of burning embers, have a rough texture, and are therefore extremely unbearable and inauspicious. These Narakas are filled with inauspicious torments. This is where the locations of the sufficient and insufficient Nairyāyikas of the Pankaprabhā earth are described. In relation to the Upāpāta, they are in an innumerable part of the Lokas; in relation to the Samudghāta, they are in an innumerable part of the Lokas; and in relation to the Svasthāna, they are in an innumerable part of the Lokas. There, many Nairyāyikas of the Pankaprabhā earth reside, who are described as black, having a black aura, causing intense goosebumps, terrifying, anxiety-inducing, and extremely dark in complexion. O Āyushman Śramaṇa! These Nairyāyikas are always afraid, always in distress, always terrified of each other, always anxious, and always bound together, constantly experiencing the intense fear of hell.
