Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 98
पापं यदि कृतं सर्वं पापं च वर्द्धते ध्रुवम् । कुर्वाणो नरके घोरे पच्यते नात्र संशयः
pāpaṃ yadi kṛtaṃ sarvaṃ pāpaṃ ca varddhate dhruvam | kurvāṇo narake ghore pacyate nātra saṃśayaḥ
Wenn Sünde begangen wird, wächst diese Sünde gewiss; und wer darin fortfährt, wird in einer schrecklichen Hölle gleichsam gekocht — daran besteht kein Zweifel.
