Suśarman said: / Hereafter I shall describe Kumbhīpāka, which causes great terror, / inspiring fear at that time even in the hearers whose minds are undisciplined. / There, O brahmin, are iron pots / resembling the Añjana mountain, filled with oil, glowing with the colour of fire, extremely unbearable. / Having bound the wrongdoers repeatedly, the mighty, / dreadful rākṣasas cast them, screaming most terribly, into those heated [cauldrons].
