Atalaloka – It is believed that one of the sons of the demon architect Maya, Bala, rules this world. When Bala yawned, he created 3 types of women; Swairinis, Kaminis and Pumscalis. Swairinis were women who would get married in their own group, Kaminis were lustful women who would get married to men from any group and Pumscalis were women who would have many partners. This world is a world of pleasure, where when a man enters it, he would be given an intoxicating drink and indulge with the women in this world, with no worries whatsoever.
