18. Whoever here eats without sharing with other creatures what he gets and does not perform the five yajnas and hence fit to be compared with the crow, falls there into a most terrific hell where his food is worms; and there in a pit of worms of hundred thousand Yojanas in extent he is himself in the form of a worm being prayed upon by worms, continues to live on worms till he (i. e., he who ate his earning without giving to others or offering to the gods) subjects himself to the hellish sufferings with no other course of expiation for as many years as there are Yojanas of this region.
