________________ "नही घुसेगा।” इसी प्रकार स्वर्ग मे उत्पन्न हुए देवता भी वापस मनुष्यलोक मे आना नहीं चाहते । Elaboration-In aphorism 245, it was stated that hellish being cannot come to the human world due to the following four reasons (1) The first reason is that he is not able to free himself from hellish pain in the hell. In the Agam it is mentioned that hellish troubles are of many types, namely, troubles due to the location. There is a deep darkness, scorching heat, intense foul smell, extreme hunger and thirst and suchlike due to the hellish location. This is kshetra (location) created troubles. The hellish being wants to come out and run away from that area but he cannot do so, just as it is not possible to get out from a completely guarded jail. It is mentioned in religious stories that once the Jiva (soul) of Sita in form of Seetendra (in heaven), picked up the Jiva (soul in body covering) of Lakshman staying in hell as a hellish being in order to liberate him from the hellish state and tried to bring him upwards (to heaven). But as soon as that hellish being came out of the hell, that hellish state melted like snow and scattered into tiny molecules. It is the effect of the hellish environment that a hellish being undergoing extreme pain in hell cannot leave that place (the hell) and cannot go to another place. They live their under compulsion of that area. The second type of trouble is the in-born enmity. The hellish beings are born enemies like snake and mongoose due to inimical nature towards each other. They start fighting, striking against and piercing immediately when they see each other. In case any hellish being wants to run away from that dual, they hold him forcibly and start fighting with him and beating him just as two robbers or two ferocious enemies do not allow each other to run away. They catch and beat So it is said that even if a hellish being wants to get released, he cannot do so. (2) The second reason is that in case any hellish being wants to go out from hell to see their old relatives (of previous life) the Paramadharmik gods (who guard the hell) do not allow them to go. They catch them and cook them in Kumbhi-narrow necked pot. They cut the body into pieces. The heart-renting description of the tortures inflicted by Paramadharmik gods is available in the 'Narak Vibhaktı' chapter of Sutrakritang and nineteenth chapter 'Mrigaputriya' of Uttaradhyayan Sutra. A reading of those chapters indicates that the guarding gods of hell do not allow the hellish beings to go out. They catch them and torture them. रायपसेणियसूत्र Jain Education International (334) For Private Personal Use Only Rai-paseniya Sutra www.jainelibrary.org
