Preta-Loka
(Sk.). Corresponds to the purgatory of the orthodox religions; one of the lowest levels of the Subtle World and one of the ‘regions’ of the Bardo Plane that individuals find themselves in if drawn to it by the weight of their still active passions and vices.
When people find themselves in the state of Preta-loka they begin to regret that they did not throw off their outworn rags earlier. The fire of space must consume painfully that which should have been dissolved by the radiant Agni. (FW I, 575)
