Enumerate the four Bhumi or Lokas in Pali and Englisg explaning each one of them briefly
Kamaduggati-Bhumi or Apaya -> The 4 woeful states of existence: Animal world (Tirachanna Yoni), Hungry Ghost World (Peta Yoni), Demon World (Asura Yoni), and Hell (Naraka Yoni).
Kamasugati-Bhumi -> The Human realm (manussa) and the 6 Deva Lokas in the Kama Loka (Cattumaharajika, Tavatimsa, Yama, Tusita, Nirmanarati, Paranimitta-Vasavatti)
Rupa-Bhumi -> The 16 planes of Bharma Gods with fine material body in the Form realm. These gods are born there because of Jhanic attainments based on Samatha mediation.
Arupa-Bhumi -> The 4 planes of Btahma Gods without body where only mind exists in the formless realm. They perceive either (infinite space, infinite consciousness, nothingness or neither-perception-nor-non-perception).
