In Buddhism
Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper Names1. Roruva. See Roruka (1).
2. Roruva. A Niraya. Beings were presumably born there as a result of
casting aspersions on the Dhamma (S.i.30) miserliness (e.g., J.iii.299) adultery (J.vi.237)Sometimes (J.v.266) two Roruvas are mentioned which the scholiast (J.v.271) explains as being Jalaroruva and Dhumaroruva; in the first beings have red hot flames blown into their bodies, and in the second, noxious gases (kharadhuma).
Buddhaghosa says (SA.i.64) that Jalaroruva is another name for Avici, and that the Niraya is so called because beings shout while being burnt there (aggimhi jalante punappunam ravanti).
Theravāda is a major branch of Buddhism having the the Pali canon (tipitaka) as their canonical literature, which includes the vinaya-pitaka (monastic rules), the sutta-pitaka (Buddhist sermons) and the abhidhamma-pitaka (philosophy and psychology).
