(1) \*Tāmisram.\* Those who rob others of their wealth, wives, children etc, are bound with ropes by Yama’s servants and cast into the Naraka known as Tāmisram. There, they are given sound beating until they faint. After they recover their senses, the beating is repeated and those who try to escape are bound hand and foot and pushed again into this hell. This is repeated as long as Fate has ordained.
