31. In the case of those men who worship here (the gods) by offering human victims and those women who devour the same the human beings sacrificed here like animals become troops of Rakhasas engaged in administering torments in hell and like soldiers in war cut their slayers into slices, drink their blood, dance and sing in merriment even as cannibals do here.
