One of the hells (niraya). King Daṇḍakī was born there because of his heinous crime (J.v.114, 143; ItvA.195).

Sarabhaṅga spoke of him as suffering there, sunk in a mass of glowing coals (kukkula) one hundred leagues deep; huge glowing sparks fall on him and enter his body through nine sores (J.v.144).

Beside this hell are the Gūtha-niraya and the Simbalivana. M.iii.185.
