Hema-kumbha
रौरवे तु महारौद्रे वर्षकोटिशतं धरे ॥ ततो विमुक्ताः कालेन शुनो योनिं व्रजन्ति हि ॥
raurave tu mahāraudre varṣa-koṭi-śataṃ dhare || tato vimuktāḥ kālena śuno yoniṃ vrajanti hi ||
रौरव नरक बहुत भयानक जगह है। वहाँ ये सौ करोड़ साल तक रहते हैं। जब इतना टाइम हो जाता है, तब वो वहाँ से आज़ाद होते हैं। लेकिन फिर जनम लेते वक्त कुत्ते की ज़िन्दगी में आते हैं।
