The Shri Sutrakritanga Sutra has been attained through the state of karma that is accomplished and purified. Describing the speciality towards the Naraka (hell), it is said that it is extremely painful, inherently distressing. The Narakapala (guardians of hell) in such Naraka places, break and twist the bodies of the existing beings, putting them in shackles and other bindings, and piercing their heads. They stretch out their limbs like leather and drive nails into them.
"They cut the nose of the child with a razor, and they also cut both the ears. They pull out his tongue to the extent of a span, and they torture him with sharp spikes." (Verse 22)
Commentary: They, the extremely righteous ones, reminding of the past misdeeds of the ignorant, Narakiya (hellish) beings, who are mostly always in the state of experiencing pain, cut their nose with a razor, and also cut both their ears. And, pulling out the tongue of those who are desirous of liquor, meat and tastes, and who speak falsehood, to the extent of a span, they 'torture' (remove) them with sharp spikes.
"They, being burnt, make sounds like the dry leaves of the palm tree, day and night, there. They drip with blood and pus-filled flesh, their limbs being smeared with caustic substances." (Verse 23)
Commentary: They, having their nose, lips and tongue cut, dripping with blood, where they spend the night and day making sounds like the dry leaves of the palm tree, the ignorant Narakiya beings, their limbs being smeared with caustic substances, drip with blood and pus-filled flesh.
