अयं जीवः सेहे नरककुहरे क्षेत्रजनितां, व्यथां शैत्यादेर्या परवशतया चैकसमये । शतैर्जिवानां सा गणयितुमशक्येति जगदुर्व्यथा ताकतीत्रा कथमिव विसोढा चिरतरम् ॥१९॥
Meaning:- It is not possible to describe with millions of tongues, what to talk, then, of one tongue, the miseries which a being in the hell underwent, simply in course of a time-unit called Samaya, due to cold and heat produced by cold and hot temperatures in the cold and hot zones when the being was consigned to infernal regions. This is merely with regard to one Samaya, then what to talk of the miseries, molestations, harassments, pains, agonies, troubles, handicaps, obstructions and inconveniences - all of which it had to put up with in course of such a long, long time as the Palyopama or the Sagaropama! Still it could not reach the end, the termination of miseries ! (19)
