Myalba comes from the Tibetan dmyal-ba (nyal-wa). In Tibetan Buddhism it is considered to be the hell realm, and sometimes more specifically the lowest of the hells. A place of dreadful punishment for the wicked, who are tormented there most cruelly. Equivalent to the Sanskrit naraka or avichi.
H. P. Blavatsky wrote:
Myalba (Tib.). In the Esoteric philosophy of Northern Buddhism, the name of our Earth, called Hell for those who reincarnate in it for punishment. Exoterically, Myalba is translated a Hell.[1]
Mme. Blavatsky explains that Myalba is the state of Avitchi on earth[2] to which some soulless men are condemned on this physical plane.[3]
