types of naraki dev - paramadhami
Answer
In Jain Dharma, Naraki and Paramadhami are different categories:- Naraki = beings born in the seven hells
- Paramadhami = a class of cruel celestial beings associated with the lower realms, especially the first hell
So, strictly speaking, Paramadhami are not Naraki dev.
Explanation
If you mean the types of Naraki, they are usually understood according to the seven hells:- Ratnaprabha
- Sharkaraprabha
- Valukaprabha
- Pankaprabha
- Dhumaprabha
- Tamahprabha
- Mahatamahprabha
These are the seven hell regions where Naraki beings take birth according to their karma.
If you mean Paramadhami, they are described as beings who cause suffering to Naraki beings in the lower realms.
Spiritual Understanding
Jain Dharma explains the lower realms to teach us the serious results of papa karma and himsa. The teaching is not meant to create fear, but to encourage:- non-violence
- self-control
- purity of conduct
- karma awareness
Takeaway
- Naraki = hell beings
- Paramadhami = cruel lower celestial beings, not Naraki
- The seven hells are the main classification of Naraki beings
If you want, I can also give you a simple chart of all Jain celestial beings, hell beings, and their categories.
