In the second chapter concerning the realm, four types of worldly beings are said to be: Narakas, humans, tiryanchas, and devas based on their states. Their specific forms are described through discussions of place, lifespan, and sensory experience in the third and fourth chapters. The present third chapter describes Narakas, tiryanchas, and humans. The description of Narakas is as follows: Ratna (gem), Sharkaara (sugar), Baluuka (sand), Paṅka (mud), Dhūma (smoke), Tama (darkness), and Mahātama (great darkness) are the seven regions. These regions are situated upon the elements of earth, water, air, and space; they are layered upon one another and progressively more expansive downward.
There are Narakas within these regions. They are eternal (continuous) and characterized by extremely unfavorable conditions, transformations, bodies, sensations, and activities. They produce mutual sufferings among themselves.
There are also sufferings caused by the entangled asuras up to the third region, i.e., those prior to the fourth region. The beings situated in those Narakas have a progressive state comparable to one, three, seven, ten, seventeen, twenty-two, and thirty-three seas.
