It will be seen that the Nárakās (Infernal Beings. Hellish Beings-Denizens of Hell) living under ground, suffer terrible miseries. Manuşyas (human beings) and Tiryancas, lower animals brutes, sub-human beings) living in Tirccha-loka have slight misery and proportionately much happiness. While the most happy individuals enjoying all the divine pleasures of the senses, are the Dévas (gods celestial beings)
Liberated Souls have unique, incomparable and eternal happiness which cannot be equelled by any divine happiness.
