The Great Epic of the Bhārata dynasty 1.85.4

1.85.4

yayātiruvāca |
imaṃ bhaumaṃ narakaṃ te patanti lālapyamānā naradeva sarve |
te kaṅkagomāyubalāśanārthaṃ kṣīṇā vivṛddhiṃ bahudhā vrajanti || 4 ||

"Yayati answered, 'O pious one, they that speak of their own merits are doomed to suffer the hell called Bhauma. Though really emaciated and lean, they appear to grow on Earth (in the shape of their sons and grandsons) only to become food for vultures, dogs, and jackals. Therefore, O king, this highly censurable and wicked vice should be repressed. I have now, O king, told thee all. Tell me what more I shall say.'
