Adhyaya 12 — The Son Describes the Narakas: Mahāraurava, Tamas, Nikṛntana, Apratiṣṭha, Asipatravana, and Taptakumbha
गृध्रैरुत्पाट्य मुच्यन्ते पुनस्तेष्वेव वेगितैः ।
पुनः सिमसिमायन्ते तैलेनैक्यं व्रजन्ति च ॥
gṛdhrair utpāṭya mucyante punas teṣv eva vegitaiḥ / punaḥ simasimāyante tailenaikyaṃ vrajanti ca
গৃধ্রগণ কর্তৃক আকৃষ্ট হইয়া তাহারা মুক্ত হয়, কিন্তু পুনরায় সেই কড়াইতেই নিক্ষিপ্ত হয়। পুনরায় তাহারা দগ্ধ হয় এবং তৈলের সহিত মিশিয়া যায়।
