One of the purgatories. It is next to the Mahā Niraya, and is the habitation of needle-mouthed creatures who rip away the skin, flesh, tendons, etc., of the victim and then devour his marrow (M.iii.185; J. vi.8; SnA.ii.481). Those who insult their parents are born in this purgatory. DhA.iv.34. Updated: 15 September 2011 http://What-Buddha-Said.net/library/DPPN/g/guutha.htm |
