Varaha Purana 198.71: Adhyaya 198, Shloka 71
Description of the Torments within the Cycle of Rebirth: Hymn to Yama and the Introduction to Citragupta’s Administration
कर्मणां च क्षयो जातः संसारे यदि पच्यते ॥ विमुक्ताश्चेह लोकात्तु जनिष्यथ सुदुर्गताः
karmaṇāṃ ca kṣayo jātaḥ saṃsāre yadi pacyate || vimuktāś ceha lokāt tu janiṣyatha sudurgatāḥ
जब कर्म खत्म होने लगते हैं और सांसर में पक जाते हैं, तब यह दुनिया से आज़ाद हो के तुम बहुत बुरी जगह जनम लोगे।
