|description=The six (esoterically ''seven'') conditions of sentient existence. These are divided into two groups: the three higher and the three lower ''paths. ''To the former belong the devas, the asuras and (immortal) men; to the latter (in exoteric teachings) creatures in hell, ''prêtas ''or hungry demons, and animals. Explained ''esoterically'', however, the last three are the ''personalities ''in Kâmaloka, elementals and animals. The seventh mode of existence is that of the Nirmanakâya (q.v.) {{etg-source|TG}}.
