2.20.47
Those who, having taken the form of pretas with deformed faces and eyes, terrible and dreadful, have no regard for family, sons, daughters, fathers, brother's wife, or daughter-in-law, / assuming shapes at will, deprived of a happy destiny, speaking as they please, desiring to eat, lamenting "Alas, what misery!", fallen under the sway of fate, remember their own cooked food.
2.20.47.p1
Thus ends the twentieth chapter, titled "Description of the Abodes of Pretas and the Manners of their Affliction", in the Pretakalpa of the Dharmakāṇḍa, the second part of the Uttarakhaṇḍa of the glorious Garuḍa Mahāpurāṇa, in the dialogue between Śrī Kṛṣṇa and Garuḍa.
