### SB 6.2.31

> अथ ते क्व गताः सिद्धाश्चत्वारश्चारुदर्शनाः\
> व्यामोचयन्नीयमानं बद्ध्वा पाशैरधो भुवः ॥३१॥

> atha te kva gatāḥ siddhāś\
> catvāraś cāru-darśanāḥ\
> vyāmocayan nīyamānaṁ\
> baddhvā pāśair adho bhuvaḥ

*atha*—thereafter; *te*—those persons; *kva*—where; *gatāḥ*—went; *siddhāḥ*—liberated; *catvāraḥ*—four personalities; *cāru-darśanāḥ*—extremely beautiful to see; *vyāmocayan*—they released; *nīyamānam*—me, who was being carried away; *baddhvā*—being arrested; *pāśaiḥ*—by ropes; *adhaḥ bhuvaḥ*—downward to the hellish region.

**And where have those four liberated and very beautiful persons gone who released me from arrest and saved me from being dragged down to the hellish regions?**

As we have learned from the descriptions in the Fifth Canto, the hellish planets are situated in the lower portions of this universe. Therefore they are called *adho bhuvaḥ.* Ajāmila could understand that the Yamadūtas had come from that region.
