हिंसापराश्न ये केचिद् ये च नास्तिकवृत्तय: । लोभमोहसमायुक्तास्ते वै निरयगामिन:
hiṁsāparāśn ye kecid ye ca nāstikavṛttayaḥ | lobhamohasamāyuktās te vai nirayagāminaḥ ||
قال فايُو: إنّ الذين يلازمون إيذاء الكائنات الحيّة، ويتّخذون سيرةً لا دينية (إلحادية)، وتستغرقهم الشهوة والطمع والضلال—أولئك حقًّا ماضون إلى الجحيم.

Educational Q&A
Violence toward living beings, denial of dharma (nāstika conduct), and being driven by greed and delusion are presented as spiritually ruinous; such dispositions lead to severe karmic consequences, described here as falling into niraya (hell).
Vāyudeva is speaking in a didactic context, delivering a moral warning: he identifies certain harmful behaviors and inner states (hiṁsā, nāstika-vṛtti, lobha, moha) and states their outcome, reinforcing ethical discipline and right conduct.
