Narak dwar names
Here are two authentic ways “Narak-dvār” is used in Jain tradition. Please pick the one you meant:
1) Seven levels of Naraka (Adho-loka) These are the seven infernal grounds. Many people casually call them “Narak ke dvār,” but scriptures describe them as seven bhūmis:
- Ratna-prabhā
- Sharkarā-prabhā
- Vāluka-prabhā
- Panka-prabhā
- Dhūma-prabhā
- Tamah-prabhā
- Mahātamah-prabhā
2) “Gates” leading a soul toward hellish birth (ethical causes) Jain āgamas emphasize the four kaṣāyas (passions) as the main “doors” that lead to naraka:
- Krodh (anger)
- Māna (pride/ego)
- Māyā (deceit)
- Lobha (greed)
Notes
- Both Digambar and Śvetāmbara traditions accept these seven infernal levels and the four kaṣāyas as prime causes for hellish birth.
- In pravachans you may also hear rāga (attachment), dveṣa (aversion), and hiṁsā (violence) mentioned, but the core “dvār” are the four kaṣāyas.
