    How many pratimajis in narak,Manyushaya lokand Dev lok in total are found

    • Narak (hell) has seven bhūmis (levels). They are named: Ratna-prabhā, Sharkarā-prabhā, Vāluka-prabhā, Panka-prabhā, Dhūma-prabhā, Tamah-prabhā, and Mahātamah-prabhā. Each level is described with its own tortures and duration in Jain cosmology. In Jain texts, these seven narak bhūmis are the standard enumeration. You can read more about the Narak dvār and these seven bhūmis here .
    • Dev-lok (the heavenly realms) and Mānayuśaya lok (often referenced as wrath/anger-related regions) are discussed in Jain cosmology, but there isn’t a single universal “total count” that sums Narak plus all Devalok and Mānayuśaya lok into one number across all Svetāmbara and Digambara texts. Different texts describe varying numbers of heavens and other lokas, and the names/locations can differ between traditions. For a focused overview of how Jain cosmology divides the worlds (including heavens and hells) see the overview on Jain cosmology. You can read more here .
    • A useful quick note: in Jain teaching the four kaṣāyās (anger, pride, deceit, greed) are considered the main gateways to Naraka. This is often taught as the ethical cause for a soul’s descent into Narak. For a simple note on these causes, see the Narak discussion above. You can read more here .

    If you want, I can clarify how many heavenly lokas (dev-lok) and other specific lokas are described in a particular Jain text (Digambara vs. Śvetāmbara) and give a concise list from that tradition.
