These are of numerous kinds, including the earthbodied, the conch-shell, the ant, the honeybee, and the four-legged animals.

The infernal-beings (naraka) are of seven classes according to their abode in one of the seven earths - Ratnaprabha, Sarkaraprabha, Valukaprabha, Pankaprabha, Dhumaprabha, Tamahprabha and Mahatamahprabha. The celestial-beings (deva), the human beings (manusya) and the infernal-beings (naraka) are the five-sensed beings.
