-* '''Naraka''' is the term for the hell-realms in Hindu, Jain, Buddhist and Sikh cosmology. In Buddhist cosmology there are typically '''eight hot hells''' and '''eight cold hells'''; Dante's ''Inferno'' has '''nine circles'''. ''[[Inferno]]'' pointedly reaches outside the Christian frame.
-* In the bardo tradition (''Bardo Thödol'' / Tibetan Book of the Dead), Naraka is one of the six realms of rebirth &mdash; entered by those whose karma requires purgation. Pairs with "[[Memory Death]]" and "[[You Retreat In Time And Space]]" on the Buddhist axis of the album.
-* The track is placed at position 7 of 18 &mdash; roughly a third of the way in, as Dante's pilgrim is in the seventh circle for violence.
