Description of Infernal Punishments and the Ripening of Karmic Consequences
ततः पश्चाद्भवेत्पापश्चेतरः सर्वपापकृत् ॥ सूकरस्तु भवेत्पश्चान्मेषः संजायते पुनः
tataḥ paścād bhavet pāpaś cetaraḥ sarvapāpakṛt || sūkaras tu bhavet paścān meṣaḥ saṃjāyate punaḥ
उसके बाद वो पापी बन जाता है, हर बुरा काम करने वाला। फिर वो सूअर बन जाता है। उसके बाद फिर से बकरा बनता है।
