One of the hell gotra
Answer
In Jainism, the term is usually hell realm or naraka, not “hell gotra.”One of the hell realms is Ratnaprabha Naraka. It is the first of the seven hells described in Jain cosmology.
Explanation
In Jain tradition, the hell realms are called Naraka-bhumi. There are seven such realms:- Ratnaprabha
- Sharkaraprabha
- Valukaprabha
- Pankaprabha
- Dhumaprabha
- Tamaprabha
- Mahatamaprabha
These are places of intense suffering, and beings are born there because of very heavy karmic bondage.
Spiritual Understanding
Jain Dharma teaches that the soul experiences the results of its own karma. The idea of hell realms reminds us to:- avoid हिंसा, anger, greed, deceit, and attachment
- live with compassion and self-restraint
- protect our soul from harmful karma
