| − | Also, eight great [[hells]] or eight major [[hells]]. The [[realms]] of [[suffering]] said to lie beneath the ground of [[Jambudvipa]]. According to The [[Dharma Analysis Treasury]], the eighth and lowest [[hell]], the [[Avichi hell]], or the [[hell]] of {{Wiki|incessant}} [[suffering]], is located twenty thousand [[yojanas]] beneath the ground, and above it are the seven other [[hot]] [[hells]]. [[The Great Commentary on the Abhidharma]] presents several differing [[views]] on the [[subject]], one of which describes the [[hell]] of {{Wiki|incessant}} [[suffering]] as being forty thousand [[yojanas]] beneath the ground. Descriptions of the size of the eight [[hot]] [[hells]] also differ. One says that the length and breadth of each [[hell]] [[measure]] ten thousand [[yojanas]], except for the lowest, the [[hell]] of {{Wiki|incessant}} [[suffering]], which is twenty thousand [[yojanas]] both in length and breadth. Another [[view]] holds that each of the seven [[hells]] above the [[Avichi hell]] is only five thousand [[yojanas]] in length and breadth.In [[general]], each of these eight major [[hells]] is said to have sixteen sub-sidiary [[hells]].

| |
| − | (3) the [[hell]] of crushing, where large numbers of evildoers are crushed between two moving mountain ranges;
| |
| − | (4) the [[hell]] of wailing, whose inhabitants are thrown into boiling [[water]] and continuously utter anguished {{Wiki|cries}} from the [[pain]];
| |
| − | (5) the [[hell]] of great wailing, whose inhabitants utter {{Wiki|cries}} of greater anguish from greater [[pain]];
| |
| − | (6) the [[hell]] of burning heat, where evildoers are burned in flames;
| |
| − | (7) the [[hell]] of great burning heat, where evildoers are burned in hotter, more [[raging]] flames; and
| |
| − | (8) the [[hell]] of {{Wiki|incessant}} [[suffering]], also known as the [[Avichi hell]], whose inhabitants constantly [[suffer]] without respite.
