28. Whoever utters falsehood here in giving evidence or in making gifts in any manner falls after death into a Hell called Avichimat where there is no support to stand upon. There he is hurled headlong from the summit of a hill hundred yojanas in height. In this hell even the hard stony surface seems to be a sheet of water and hence it is so called (for there are no waves there); though his body is shattered to pieces he does not die, and he is repeatedly lifted up to the top and hurled down.
