    Why was one of the so called hells in India myth called 'achoo'?

    Question #80394. Asked by tragic_flawed. (May 14 07 5:20 PM)

    		After the hot hells are the cold hells - blistering, busting blister, achoo, moaning, chattering teeth, cracking like an upala, cracking like a lotus, and that great cracking like a lotus.

    Anyway, these hells are surrounded by ice, it is always the dead of night with a fierce blizzard raging and those who are there are completely naked and exposed to the elements. It is called the achoo hell because those who are there wail, moan and make the sound of achoo.

    		You mean it's not because it's so cold that they're always sneezing?
