Adhyaya 14 — The Messenger of Yama Explains Karmic Retribution and the Causes of Naraka Torments
श्राद्धसङ्गतिनो विप्राः समुत्पत्य परस्परम् ।
दुष्टा हि निःसृतं फेनं सर्वाङ्गेभ्यः पिबन्ति वै ॥
śrāddhasaṅgatino viprāḥ samutpatya parasparam /
duṣṭā hi niḥsṛtaṃ phenaṃ sarvāṅgebhyaḥ pibanti vai
أمّا البراهمة الذين يتعلّقون على غير وجه حقّ بطقس الشرادها (śrāddha) طلبًا لمكسبٍ غير مشروع، فإنهم يثب بعضهم على بعض؛ وقد أفسدتهم الخطيئة، فيشربون حقًّا الزَّبدَ الذي يرشح من جميع أعضائهم.
