## Study of Hellish Torments - Commentary
Those who have fallen into the unbearable, painful hell, or any path leading there, are unable to escape or endure it. They are struck by stones hurled by Asuras. The torment that afflicts beings on all sides is called **Santapini**, which is the **Kumbhi hell**. This state lasts for a long time, meaning that a being who has gone to Kumbhi hell suffers extreme torment for a long period. A being who has committed sins in a previous life suffers greatly in Kumbhi hell.

**Translation:** They throw the beings into the Kumbhi hell, which is like a ball, and roast them. Then, they jump up like roasted chickpeas. The **Drona** crows peck at them from above, and when they try to escape, lions and tigers devour them.
