Here the Sanskrit reads tadyathā uṣṇa­narakā aṣṭau | katame ’ṣṭau tadyathā saṁjīvaḥ kāla­sūtraḥ saṅghātaḥ rauravaḥ mahā­rauravaḥ tapanaḥ pratāpanaḥ avīciś ca | śīta­narakā aṣṭau | \[katame’ṣṭau\] tadyathā arbudaḥ nirarbudaḥ aṭaṭaḥ hahavaḥ huhuvaḥ utpalaḥ padmaḥ mahā­padmaḥ | pretāḥ tiryañcaḥ manuṣyāḥ ṣaṭ kāmāvacarāś ca devāḥ | katame ṣaṭ cātur­mahā­rājikāḥ trāyastriṁśāḥ yāmāḥ tuṣitāḥ nirmāṇa­ratayaḥ paranirmita­vaśavartino devāḥ (Samtani 1971, p. 11). The Sanskrit text could be translated as “It is the eight hot hells. What are the eight? They are Reviving, Black Thread, Crushing, Howling, Great Howling, Burning, Intense Burning, and Unwavering. It is the eight cold hells. What are the eight? They are Swelling, Thorough Swelling, Aṭṭa, Hahava, Huhuva, Blue Lotus, Lotus, and Great Lotus. It is the pretas, animals, humans, and the six deities within the sphere of desire. What are the six? They are the Four Great Kings, the deities of the Thirty-Three, Yāma, Tuṣita, Emanation-Delight, and Control of Others’ Emanations.” Samtani also points out that the order differs in Fe and ANe (Samtani 1971, p. 11, n. 5). See also the Nibandhana (Samtani 1971, pp. 140–41) for useful explanations of the names of these different classes of deities. - [Previous: notes.35](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.arthaviniscayasutra*bo~en-84000.notes.35) - [Next: notes.37](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.arthaviniscayasutra*bo~en-84000.notes.37) - [Up: notes](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.arthaviniscayasutra*bo~en-84000.notes) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.arthaviniscayasutra*bo~en-84000.notes.36](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.arthaviniscayasutra*bo~en-84000.notes.36) · Pramāṇa
