32. Those who draw to them by means of allurements the innocent people in the woods or in the village, make them further confide in them, pillorise or keep fast bound with ropes or other means of restraint the poor creatures that have sought them for life and torment them as if they were their toys — those wicked souls suffer in hell after death similarly pilloried and, treated with various torments ordered by Yama become distressed with hunger and thirst and are on every side assailed by Kanka, Vata and other birds of prey with their sharp beaks; now they recollect their sins.
