## Second Place [145 Naraka-avasa]
The land of Naraka-avasa is covered with pebbles, but when the Narakas step on them, it feels as if their feet are being cut by knives. Due to the absence of light, there is always dense darkness. Like a dark night covered with clouds, there is always darkness there; because there is no light from the luminous planets, sun, moon, etc., or their radiance. The land is covered with mud made of foul-smelling substances like fat, grease, pus, blood, flesh, etc., so these Naraka-avasa are always dirty, foul-smelling, or malodorous. There is also a very unpleasant, terrible stench, like that of the carcasses of dead cows, buffaloes, etc.
The Naraka-avasa are like the deep blue flame (like the color of a pigeon) that comes out when iron is blown with a bellows, because they are hot everywhere except for the place where they were born. This statement should be understood in relation to other earths except the sixth and seventh. It will be said later that the Naraka-avasa of the sixth and seventh hells are not like the color of pigeon-colored fire.
The touch of these Naraka-avasa is extremely harsh and unbearable, like the edge of a sword. They are also very inauspicious to look at. The pains of these hells are also extremely inauspicious or unpleasant due to unbearable sound, form, smell, taste, and touch.
The Narakas are black, ugly, and terrifying in their body structure, nature, and circumstances. A black radiance emanates from their bodies. Just seeing them makes one shudder, or they create fear and trembling in other Narakas. For this reason, they constantly create terror. And they are always fearful, distressed, terrified, anxious, and constantly experience the unpleasant fear of hell.

[175] "Where, Venerable Sir, are the locations of the five-sensed Tiryancha Yonis, both those that are sufficient and those that are insufficient?"
[175] "Gautama! 1. In the upper world, in one part of it, 2. In the lower world, in one part of it, 3. In the Tiryancha world, in wells, ponds, rivers, tanks, lakes, pools, lamps, gujalikas, lakes, rows of lakes, rows of rows, burrows, rows of burrows, mountain springs, waterfalls, small pits, ponds, and fields."
