Description of Infernal Punishments and the Ripening of Karmic Consequences
ततः कुक्कुटतां यातु विड्भक्षश्च दुरात्मवान् ॥ दंशश्च मशकश्चैव ततः पश्चाद्भवेत् तु सः
tataḥ kukkuṭatāṃ yātu viḍbhakṣaś ca durātmavān || daṃśaś ca maśakaś caiva tataḥ paścād bhavet tu saḥ
फिर वो मुर्गी बनेगा। गंदा खाएगा, बुरा इंसान है। उसके बाद वो मक्खी बनेगा, मच्छर बनेगा। ऐसे ही उसका जनम होता रहेगा।
