俱舍論疏 11.65

11.65

The commentary explains: "This is definitely due to the power of karma... hence they are not burned by it." Within this there are two explanations, which can be understood from the text. The Nyāyānusāra says: "In the three hells of Avīci, Great Heat, and Heat, there are no wardens guarding them. In the three hells of Great Screaming, Screaming, and Saṃghāta, there are few wardens, because King Yama's messengers from time to time go back and forth patrolling and inspecting them. All the remaining hells are guarded by wardens. Sentient and non-sentient wardens of different kinds guard and punish guilty sentient beings."
