pains of hot climate conditions, the iron piece would melt like a butter within a while and the blacksmith would only be able to get its' ash, since such extreme hot climate/condition prevail in Hell.
An elephant of 60 years suffering from hunger, and tremendous heat of hot sun-stroke in summer which can result in melting iron, by such extremely heat if such elephant sees some huge pond or lake, would enter in the same and feel relief and enjoy. Similarly, lives in Hell, suffering hot climate conditions in Hell, if they see the fire on this earth and enter in it, they would feel relief, coolness & enjoy. Such is the intensity & severeness of heat in Hell, that the Hell lives feel relief & cool-effect even in entering in the fire of our this earth.
[61] THE INTENSITY OF PAINS OF COLD CLIMATE CONDITIONS:
With a view that we can understand in better manner, the scriptures have explained the description of the pains resulting from the extremely cold climate; with a unique simily.
For instance, in the month of December, the sky is clouldless / clear at night, there is the flow of coolest breeze and if in such a climate a man is sitting nude on the top of the Himalayas, where the cold breeze flows from all directions, where no source of fire is available, what would be his experience? He would shiver from the tremendous pains of cool breeze. But as compared with that- the lives in Hell suffer infinite times more pain of cold climate conditions in Hell. Again it is not for a while, it is for a long & prolonged period of time and forever. If such a life, suffering from pains of extreme cold in Hell, is brought to the place mentioned above [ on the Himalayas] he would have a sound sleep as if there is no cold, no wind. Thus, the life which was suffering severe cold in Hell, would get his body warmed up and become happy and he would forget cold, hunger and thirst. Such extreme, intense & severe is the cold climate - condition in Hell.
[62] THE SUFFERINGS OF HUNGER AND THIRST IN HELL:
Even if the life in Hell drinks up all the water from all the seas, and eats up all the foodgrains, of the entire world, his thirst and hunger wouldn't be quenched or over or satisfied. Even if all the purified butter, milk, grains etc., is eaten up by Hell - life, it would not satisfy. Such is the Hell - lives' sufferings of hunger and thirst and their urge to eat & drink is so
Oh God! Hell for me?!... I dare not even think of...
(56)
high, severe & extreme that eating & drinking to any, highest level too, the same is never ending & never satisfying.
[63] CHANGE IN BODY FORMS IN HELL CHAOS BY THE CROOKED / UGLY/ STRUCTURE OF THE BODY OF LIVES IN HELL:
The structure of body of the lives in Hell can convert themselves like spear, furnace, trident gadda, sword etc., They quarrel and torture each other in extreme cruel & dreadful manner with their sharp structure of their illusory body. They can convert themself in to various appearance. All Hell lives cannot do this. This situation is upto the 5th Hell. In the 6th and 7th Hell the lives among themselves harass with the Vajras [thunderbolt] They pierce each other's flesh with this thunderbolt by implanting on each other's body the germs/ worms with iron points which enter & spread over into the body of Hell - lives by eating the skin of those Hell - lives.
