16. He who being a king inflicts punishment on the innocent, or corporal punishmnnt on a Brahmin—he, that very sinful person, falls into the hell called Sukaramukha. There with every one of his limbs being crushed like pieces of sugarcane by very powerful hands he shrieks in distress and now swoons away under overpowering pain and now reduced to a wretched plight like those who are bound and consigned to prison-house, though no fault is proved against them.
