Lokantaranirayā untranslated

Lokantaranirayā. A series of hells, each one being bound by three cakkavālas. (Cp. Vin-a.i.120; Snp­a.ii.443). Each hell is eight thousand leagues in extent. Beings are born there as a result of heinous crimes, “like those of Coranāga, or Corābhaya, both of Tambaṇṇidīpa.” Their bodies are three gāvutas in height and with their long nails they cling to the cakkavālapabbata. Sometimes they fall into the world bearing water (lokasandhāraka-udaka) and are dried-up because of its great salinity (AN­a.ii.532). Elsewhere (NidA.8; Snp­a.i.59) they are said to suffer from extreme cold. Those holding wrong views are also born there (Ja.vi.247). According to the Buddhavaṁsa Commentary (Bv­a., p. 26), Lokantara is the hell of the Asurakāyā.
