バラモンを殺した者は、「カーラスートラ（Kālasūtra）」と呼ばれる地獄に投げ込まれる。そこは周囲がアユタ・ヨージャナに及ぶ、全て銅でできた世界で、下からは火、上からは灼熱の太陽に焼かれて銅面は激しく熱する。罪人は飢えと渇きで内から焼かれ、また太陽と火の熱で外からも焼かれるため、ある時は横たわり、ある時は座り、立ち、また走り回る。この苦しみを、獣の体毛の数に等しい千年のあいだ受けねばならない。
FAQs
In Canto 5, Chapter 26, Śukadeva describes Kāla-sūtra as a hell where brahma-dhruk offenders are placed on a blazing copper surface and tormented by heat, hunger, and thirst for an extremely long duration.
He explains the consequences of sinful and anti-dharmic actions so that Parīkṣit (and listeners) develop detachment from sin, fear of offense, and seriousness about spiritual life and devotion.
Avoid harming or disrespecting sacred knowledge, truthful conduct, and saintly persons; cultivate humility and dharma, and take shelter of bhakti to purify tendencies that lead to grave offenses.
