In all the seven infernal lands, the increase and decrease is to be described in the same way. But there is variety in the case of constant number, viz., forty-eight muhurttas in the Ratnaprabhā hell, fourteen days and nights in the Sarkarāprabhā, one month in the Bālukāprabhā, two months in the Parkaprabhā, four months in Dhūmaprabhā, eight months in the Tamā, twelve months in the Tamatamā.
