The lives in Hell are classified into 2 categories:- 1) Samyagdrishti and 2) Mithyadrishti. [i.e. with true knowledge and with untrue/false knowledge]
Lives having Samyagdrishti, (i.e. true knowledge) are those who bear the sufferings in Hell given / caused to them with patience, they truly recollect and consider that the punishments given to them are the results of their own past sinful Karmas. On the contrary lives having Mithyadrishti(i.e. false knowledge), are those lives who possess cruel and violent thoughts, keep on quarrelling among themselves, with the arms and weapons by changing their forms. [93] WHICH OF THE 3 TYPES OF PAINS AND SUFFERINGS ARE PRESENT, IN AND UPTO WHICH HELL?
In all the 7 Hells there exist kshetra pains(i.e.land and or area) and Anonyakrit pains [i.e. sufferings caused by the lives in hell themselves without weapon). There are tortures by also Paramãdhãmees upto 5th Hell. In 6th and 7th Hell, the lives enter into each others' body and torture each other by changing their forms. Lives in Hell are born within Alã [like a shape of recess in the wall]. It is known as their yoni. As the time of 48 minute passes by, they grow bigger in alā, and much broader than the ala, and as such they fall out from the alã and immediately the paramã-dhãmees arrive there and begin to torture them in accordance with their sinful karmas of previous birth/births. Those who indulged in alcohol, the paramãdhãmees force them to drink hot lead, those who engrossed in sex with others' wife are sticked to the red hot iron statue of woman. They are made to sit on the thorny trees, They are beaten up with highly strong and sharp iron, they are pierced with cane,weapons, salt is thrown on their wounds, they are thrown into boiling oil, they are pierced with spears, they are baked in the bakery, they are crushed in oil exploring machine, they are cut by saw, they are tortured by various forms of birds, lions and serpant, they are thrown in river Vaitarni, they are made to run in forest of trees with sharp pointed leaves and also on hot sand, they are cooked in a big fire into kumbhi ( vessel] made of hard thunderbolt, as a result they jump at a height of 500 yojans and while they fall down they are scattered by violent birds in the sky and by the animals like tigers below, by various and furious forms.
Upto the 5th Hell lives quarrel among themselves with illusionary weapons such as Asi, Kunthua etc., In 6th and 7thHell weapons are forbidden they fight and torture with blood Kunthuã.
It is described in Jivabhigamsutra as - in 6th and 7th Hell the lives quarrel with Kunthuã in such a manner that their body is - as if reduced to a sieve, they enter into each others body and cause severe torture & pain to each others.
The Paramãdhãmees enjoy and laugh seeing these Hell lives quarrelling among themselves. Paramadhãmees also throw weapons on these lives and smash their legs. Paramadhãmees enjoy seeing Hell - dwellers' quarrel and fight with the very high degree of extreme love, interest and likings but such love, interests and likings are not present in seeing the most lovely and beautiful things/ objects. 'Paramãdhãmee state' is attained due to Karma of Panchagni. Paramãdhãmees are always huge bodied. A Paramãdhamee, after his death, becomes an Undgolika life of water.
