bhinne dehe durāpannāḥ pretabhūtā yamakṣaye
svakarmāṇyanuśocanto yātanāsthānamāgatāḥ //
But, those, who on account of their narrow minds have fallen in their orders in course of their life of action, and have not uttered Svahâ and Svadha, go to the realm of Dharmaraja in various forms and repent for their past deeds These beings, with their long and thin bodies having beards and void of garments, prowl about hither and thither oppressed by hunger and thirst Being thirsty, they go about in search of rivers, lakes tanks, wells, canals, etc, and being hungry, they go to various places in search of food But they fail to get their desired objects They are driven away from every place and the messengers of Yama throw them in various tormenting places such as, —Śālmalī Vaitaranī, Kumbhīpaka, Ardhavāluka and Asipatravana Thus they suffer all sorts of pain as results of their karmas—65 70
