Jinabhadra Gaņi's [The eighth entitled to various means of pleasure like light, shades of a tree, cool-breeze, river, and stream etc. On the other hand, various horrors of hell such as those of being killed, pierced, cooked, burnt, pressed, and dashed against stone-slabs are not experienced by tiryancas or manusyas. Only Nārakas are doomed to undergo such afflictions.
It should be noted in the āgamas also that:Satatamanubadhamuktam duḥkham narakeșu tîvraparināmami Tiryakşūşņa-bhaya-kşut-tridādiduhkham sukham calpam ||1|| Sukh-duḥkha manujánām manaḥ-sarîrā śraye bahuvikalpe I Sukhameva tu devā nāmalpam duhkham tu mansi bhavam 112 11
[ Närakas have always to undergo the afflictions of excessive effects. Tiryancas have greater proportion of afflictions like heat, fear, hunger, and thirst etc and smaller proportion of happiness, manusyas have pleasures and pains (almost in equal proportion ) pertaining to body and mind while gods have absolute happiness and very little misery ] 11 351-352 (1899–1900) सच्चं चेदमकंपिय ! मह वयणाओऽवसेसवयणं व । सवण्णुत्तणओ वा अणुमयसव्वण्णुवयणं व ॥३५३॥ (१९०१) Saccam cedamakampiya ! maha vayanāo’vasesavayanam va i Savvannuttanao vā anumayasavvannuvayaņam va 135311 (1901) [ सत्यं चेदमकम्पित ! मम वचनादवशेषवचनमिव ।

Trans.-353 This is true. O Akampita ! because it is my statement. Or, ( it is true ) like other statements. Or, by virtue of (my) all-knowing faculty, ( it is true) like the statement of an authorized omniscient. ( 1901 )
