Avinci

Sanskrit

In General

Avinci is one of the twenty eight hells. The hell called Avici is described Devi bhagavathi ( chapter 8)thus, "This is the hell meant for those who stand false witness, who take false oath and false name. The soldiers of Yama will push these false people into the hell of Avici, from the top of a mount which is a hundred yojanas (league) high. The place of Avici, like the waves of the ocean, is swelling and falling and swaying and surging always. When sinners fall there their bodies will be crumbled to pieces.Their life will enter into new bodies and then the punishment will be repeated again and again."
