Description of Infernal Punishments and the Ripening of Karmic Consequences
प्रबद्धः सुचिरं कालं मम लोकं गतो नरः ॥ जायतां स चिरं पापो मार्जारस्तेन कर्मणा
prabaddhaḥ suciraṃ kālaṃ mama lokaṃ gato naraḥ || jāyatāṃ sa ciraṃ pāpo mārjāras tena karmaṇā
वो आदमी बहुत लंबे टाइम तक बंधा रहता है और मेरे पास आता है। उस पापी को उसकी गलती की सज़ा मिलती है। वो बहुत देर तक बिल्ली बनके जनम लेता है।
