A niraya in which stage players are born after death. Tálaputa maintained that after death they were born among the Pahásadevi. The Buddha contradicts this and says that their rebirth is in a Niraya and not in any deva world (S.iv.305f.; ThagA.ii.156). Buddhaghosa explains (SA.iii.100) that Pahása is not a special Niraya but rather a section of Avíci, where beings suffer while wearing the form of singers or dancers.
