立世論云梵音泥黎耶。此云無喜樂○毘婆沙論云。泥犁迦。秦言無去處○大毘婆沙論云。捺洛迦。此云不可樂。論問。何故名捺洛迦。答是那洛迦所趣故。是中有那洛迦故。名捺洛迦。彼諸有情無悅無愛無味無利無喜樂故。名那洛迦也。今稱地獄者。地底也。下也。謂萬物之中最在底下也。獄局也。謂拘局不得自在故○三法度人經云。地獄有三種。一熱有一十八所。二寒有一十八所（此是根本）三邊又名輕繫。又名孤獨。此有三別。一山間。二水中。三曠野。

The Lishi lun states: "The Sanskrit sound is niraya; this is translated as 'without joy or pleasure'." The Vibhāṣā-śāstra states: "Niraka; in Qin speech, it means 'place of no going'." The Mahāvibhāṣā-śāstra states: "Naraka; this is translated as 'unpleasant'. The treatise asks: 'Why is it named naraka?' The answer: 'Because it is where beings of naraka go; because those [suffering] narakas are within it, it is called naraka. Because those sentient beings have no delight, no love, no flavor, no benefit, and no joy or pleasure, they are called narakas.' What is nowadays called 'earth-prison' (diyu): 'earth' means the bottom of the earth, below, meaning the very lowest among all things; 'prison' means confinement, meaning they are bound and confined without autonomy. The Sanfa duren jing states: "There are three kinds of hells: first, the hot, of which there are eighteen places; second, the cold, of which there are eighteen places (these are the fundamental hells); third, the peripheral, also called the lightly bound, and also called the solitary hells; these have three distinctions: first, among mountains; second, in water; third, in wilderness."
