Jain dharm me Narak (narak jivo) ke baare me mukhy roop se yeh kaha jata hai ki:

• Narak karmo ki fal-svaroop lagan (vipaka) se utpann hote hain. Jitte bade paap ya adhik dushta karm hote hain, utna gahra Narak milta hai.
• Narak ki vyavastha (apmaan, sufli, dukh) ki aarthik varnan kai Jain granthon me milta hai. Isme kai narak (jagah) aur unke vishesh dukh varnit hote hain.
• Digambar aur Shvetambar paramparao me Narak ki ganana/naam me thoda bhinnata hoti hai, isliye sahi arth aur shastriya details par alag-alag vyakhya milti hain.
• Samanya arth yeh hai ki Narak sirf永久 ya sankshep roop me dukh dene wale sthaan nahi, balki karmo ke phal ke roop me milne wale anubhav hain jo atma ko shuddh karne ki prakriya (dharma, bhavna, tapas) ki or le jaate hain.

Aap chahen to main:

• Narak ki kuch mukhya gatnayein (jagahon ke naam aur vishesh dukh) ki sankshep roop me list de sakta hoon,
• Ya Digambar/Śvetāmbara ke beech ki mukhya antar ko sidhi vyakhya ke saath samjha sakta hoon.

Batayein ki aapko kis roop me jaankari chahiye.
