[142] The *Garga* hell is round inside, square outside, and sharp like a knife at the bottom. It is always filled with dense darkness, devoid of the light of planets, moon, sun, stars, and other celestial bodies. Its surface is covered with a thick layer of fat, grease, pus, blood, and flesh, making it impure, repulsive, foul-smelling, rough to the touch, unbearable, and inauspicious. This hell is filled with suffering. This is where the locations of the *Tamas Prabha Prithvi* hell's worthy and unworthy inhabitants are described.

According to the *Uppaata* (origin), these hells are located in an immeasurable part of the universe. According to the *Samuddhaata* (extent), they are also located in an immeasurable part of the universe. And according to the *Swasthaana* (location), they are also located in an immeasurable part of the universe. Many inhabitants of the *Tamas Prabha Prithvi* hell reside there. They are described as black, with black radiance, causing intense goosebumps, terrifying, causing fear, and extremely dark in color. O *Shraman* (ascetic)! They are always afraid, always distressed, always terrified, always anxious, and always experience the ultimate suffering and the fear of hell associated with it.

[173] "O *Bhagavan* (Lord)! Where are the locations of the worthy and unworthy inhabitants of the *Tamas Prabha Prithvi* hell described?"

It is said that there are five *Narakaavaasa* (hells) for the worthy and unworthy inhabitants of the *Tamas Prabha Prithvi* hell, located in the middle of a region spanning one hundred and fourteen thousand *yojanas* (a unit of distance), after crossing one thousand *yojanas* above the *Tamas Prabha Prithvi* hell, which is one hundred and sixteen thousand *yojanas* thick, and leaving one thousand *yojanas* below it.
