The **Shri Sutra Kritanga Sutra** states:
**Verse 5:**
The **Balas** (souls devoid of discrimination) are forcibly made to traverse the **Lohpath** (path of burning iron), a scorching earth, slippery with blood and pus. They are driven forward like cattle, prodded with sticks, as they approach the **Abhidurg** (impenetrable fortress).
**Commentary:**
The **Naraka-palas** (hell-keepers) force the **Balas** to walk on the burning **Lohpath**, a scorching earth, slippery with blood and pus. They are driven forward like cattle, prodded with sticks, as they approach the **Abhidurg** (impenetrable fortress). The **Balas** are unable to move freely and are forced to endure this torment.
**Verse 6:**
Those who enter the **Sampragadh** (intense suffering) are struck by falling stones. The **Santapini** (hell of torment) is a place of long duration, where the **Asadhu-karma** (evil deeds) are burned away.
**Commentary:**
The **Narakas** (hell-bound beings) are unable to move freely in the **Sampragadh** (intense suffering) and are struck by falling stones. The **Santapini** (hell of torment) is a place of long duration, where the **Asadhu-karma** (evil deeds) are burned away. The **Narakas** suffer greatly in this hell, enduring intense pain for a long time.
