The son spoke:
Now I was born in a Vaiśya’s family in the seventh life that preceded my present one. Once upon a time I obstructed the cattle at their drinking. In consequence of that act I was consigned to a very terrible hell, fearful with flames of fire, infested with birds with iron beaks, muddy by reason of the streams of blood that flowed from limbs crushed by machines, pervaded with the sound of blood pouring down from sinners who are being cut asunder. When cast down there I spent a hundred years and more, scorched by the intense heat, and burning with thirst.
