Varaha Purana 203.30: Adhyaya 203, Shloka 30
Enumeration and Description of Classes of Sins and Their Consequences
अन्यैरपि कृतं पापं तेषां पतति मस्तके ॥ वज्रं शस्त्रं विषं वापि देहाद्देहनिपातनम्
anyair api kṛtaṃ pāpaṃ teṣāṃ patati mastake || vajraṃ śastraṃ viṣaṃ vāpi dehād dehanipātanam
दूसरों के किए हुए पाप भी उनके सर पर गिरता है। बिजली से मर जाना, हथियार से मर जाना, या ज़हर से मर जाना। यह सब में शरीर शरीर से अलग हो जाता है, मतलब अचानक मौत आ जाती है।
