up to: From sensation, he groans, wails, and cries out, and no one removes that suffering of his, and so forth at length. As he experiences such fierce sensation for many hundreds of thousands of years, that tongue is dragged about. Somehow it re-enters that hell-being's mouth. His face distraught with terror, he flees anywhere he can, burning and plunging into ditches of coals. While he is thus tormented by suffering, refuge-less and destitute of help, Yama's henchmen appear again, holding clubs and swords in their hands. They crush that man from his head down to his feet, and so forth.
