| | Main Tiny Plot |
| | Up until now, the tiger clan had not crossed paths with a lion, with suited Naraka just fine; he considered them to be lowly creatures, and due to their differences, he loathed them with a great passion and considered himself lucky that they kept far distance from his jungles. | | | It was a blessing to the lions that the forest was empty, and they claimed it as their new home. | | | At Anila's suggestion, Naraka instructs their son, Karthik, to travel to the Sandhi territory on an important mission. |

| | A Treatise upon some tales on "Naraka at the top of Mt Tateyama" |
| | Afterward, the idea of Naraka at Mt. Tateyama might come to be known around the capital by the first half of the 11th century, when Hokke-genki recorded such a tale about the hell at the top of Mt. Tateyama. | | | In other words, some tales on Naraka at Mt. Tateyama in Hokke-genki and Konjaku-monogatari-shu, both of which have been examined by this paper, are exactly variable data on the religious environment before "kaisan" of Mt. Tateyama. | | | The 124th tale is fundamentally different from this trend, because it has the unique narration that Kannon substituted the heroine for her given torture in Naraka at Mt. Tateyama, only one day a month. |

| | Naraka was dead now, and his evil had died with him. | | | Naraka bowed, his face contorted into an expression that for him generally meant pleasure, "My lord, the last messenger has arrived from the tunnel’s end and has informed me that the tunnel should be branched and completed in four days time. | | | Not wanting to give him that time, Naraka slammed his sword down beside Legolas' head, and even as the elf moved to the side, he smashed a mail covered fist into the prince's stomach. |

| | Death or Despair |
| | Naraka was agitated as he entered the chamber of his over lord, and though he bowed and made the properly respectful greeting, Furnmorth cast one glance at him and immediately picked up on his mood. | | | The next day found Naraka again striding through ‘his’ domain, but there was no doubt amongst the rest of his men over who was truly in command. | | | Scrambling to his feet in what he obviously hoped was an imposing and deliberate manner, Naraka, Captain of Mt. Gundabad, nearly shrieked an order, his ’noble leader’ veneer curling back to reveal his ugly temper in full. |
