<p>'Hell' is 'suffering', 'pain', 'unhappiness', 'torment' &amp;/or 'torture'. 'Hell' is described as undesirable unpleasant feelings, as follows:</p>

Hells must corresponding to their evil deeds. **But there are uncountable various kamma leting their uncountable corresponding resultants arise in the same seconds, too.** Kamma just waiting the proper chance to let their resultants arise.

Most of hell appear in suttanta, but it will be easier to explain the hell by abhidhamma's rule.

In abhidhamma, there are trillion mind moments in a piece of second. Each mind moment must managing, kamma, their mind and mind factors, but only javana-duty mind moments have own resultants, vipaka. **So, we done kamma over many thousands millions times each second.**

And each kamma will multiply it's resultants, vipaka, such as just 1 killing mind moment of last life can let uncountable resultant mind moments arise through next life, if that killing mind moment can win to process rebirth-duty, 1st mind moment of each rebirth, of next life.

Another, many kamma can work together by switch their resultants' arising between each other, such as killing mind moment let its resultants through niraya-man's life, then the other kamma let it's resultants arise
by make niraya man very hurt his tongue.

Their are uncountable co-working in each second for one's life, such as a second of buddha's life on parinibbana's bed:

* Wholesome kamma let budhha's bhavanga mind moment arise.
* Each different wholesome kamma let buddha's each organ of 32 organs
  look the best beautiful.
* Unwholesome kamma let buddha's body sick.
* The other wholesome kamma let buddha watch many ariya around the
  parinibbana's bed.

**These all happened only in a second, by a very various kamma. And this is just the example. In the full situation of this second, there are many various kamma giving their resultants.**

The Pali suttas do not ascribe specific hells for specific unskilfull, heedless &/or evil deeds. For example, the [Cula Kammavibhanga Sutta](https://suttacentral.net/en/mn135) lists many types of unskilful actions & each action has the same potential general result of the 'unhappiness' of 'hell'.

However, if we use our common sense, we can discern in life that, in general (but not always), certain actions bring greater hellish results than another actions. For example, murder brings a longer prison sentence in hell than rape or corporate dishonesty; or the post-traumatic-hell of soldiers who fight in war is a greater hell than the hell of stealing or sexual misconduct. Or the hell of drug addiction is a strong hell.
