Detailed explanation-1: -When Hamlet said, “Not where he eats, but where he is eaten", he was trying to let Claudius know that he was dead, in a sarcastic manner. He meant that the worms are eating Polonius, while he’s dead.
Detailed explanation-2: -Rosencrantz and Guildenstern appear with Hamlet, who is under guard. Pressed by Claudius to reveal the location of Polonius’s body, Hamlet is by turns inane, coy, and clever, saying that Polonius is being eaten by worms, and that the king could send a messenger to find Polonius in heaven or seek him in hell himself.
Detailed explanation-3: -The first place that Hamlet tells Claudius that he could look for Polonius is in hell. He first says that Polonius is in heaven but then says if the attendants can’t find him there, maybe Claudius should look for Polonius in hell. Claudius tells Hamlet that he will send him to England for his safety.
