Some Jaina Canonical Sutras c8.69

c8.69

It is interesting to note that the sinners come to the great impassable hell called Asūrya,¹ i.e., where the sun does not shine. Here also they are roasted. The sinners are hewn with axes like pieces of timber. They are stewed in iron caldrons filled with their own blood. They are not reduced to ashes. They undergo this kind of punishment for their misdeeds. In hells sinners suffer in consequence of the sinful deeds done by them while on earth. The noses, ears and lips of sinners are cut off with razors, and their tongues are pulled out with sharp pikes They are thrown into large caldrons and boiled. They are compelled to drink molten lead and copper when they are thirsty.¹ There is a terrible towering mountain called the Vaitālika where evildoers are long tortured Thus the sinners are tortured day and night. They cry at the top of their voices in a dreadful hell which contains various implements of torture.
