2.86

Hells exist only beneath this continent [of Jambudvīpa] and nowhere else, because extremely grave evil arises only in this continent; beings in the other two continents who sever wholesome roots and commit deeds of immediate retribution (ānantarya-karma) come here to experience suffering. The Vibhāṣā says: all three continents have peripheral hells and solitary hells. Some say: two continents have these two kinds of hells, but not the northern continent, because it is a place of pure pleasure.
