“Raurava[8] is in truth two thousand yojanas in size. Then there is a chasm, just knee-deep, very difficult to pass over: in it charcoal is heaped up and made level with the ground. It burns vehemently with its glowing surface of kindled charcoal. In its midst Yama’s servitors cast the evil-doer. He runs about there, being burnt by the violent flame; and at each step, his foot is wasted and consumed again and again; day and night he continues on the move.
