Adhyaya 14 — The Messenger of Yama Explains Karmic Retribution and the Causes of Naraka Torments
परपत्रेण पाट्यन्ते कस्मादेतेऽतिदुःखिताः ।
करम्भवालुकास्वेते पच्यन्ते तैलगोचराः ॥
parapatreṇa pāṭyante kasmād ete ’ti-duḥkhitāḥ / karambha-vālukāsv ete pacyante taila-gocarāḥ //
এই জীৱবোৰ কিয় ইমান চৰম দুখত আছে—সিহঁতক ‘পত্ৰপত্ৰ’ (ধাৰাল পাত) দি কিয় কটা হৈছে? আৰু সিহঁতক খাৰ আৰু বালিত কিয় ৰন্ধা হৈছে, তথা তেলত কিয় ঘূৰোৱা হৈছে?

FAQs
Purāṇic hell-imagery functions as moral deterrent: cruelty, exploitation, and causing pain ‘returns’ as pain with analogous textures—cutting, burning, boiling.
Not a pañcalakṣaṇa core (like sarga/manvantara), but a dharma-oriented excursus illustrating karmaphala within the narrative frame.
‘Cutting’ and ‘cooking’ symbolize the soul being processed by its own tendencies (saṃskāras): sharpness (violence) and heat (anger/greed) mature into experiential suffering.
