Adhyaya 12 — The Son Describes the Narakas: Mahāraurava, Tamas, Nikṛntana, Apratiṣṭha, Asipatravana, and Taptakumbha
प्रयान्ति प्राणिनस्तत्र तीव्रतृट्परिपीडिताः ।
हा मातर्हा तात ! इति क्रन्दन्तोऽतीव दुःखिताः ॥
prayānti prāṇinas tatra tīvratṛṭparipīḍitāḥ | hā mātar hā tāta iti krandanto 'tīva duḥkhitāḥ ||
生きとし生けるものは激しい渇きに苦しめられ、「ああ母よ、ああ父よ」と泣き叫びながら、悲しみに打ちひしがれてそこへ行く。

At the time of ripened karma, worldly supports (family, status) cannot intervene; the cry for parents underscores radical personal responsibility for one’s deeds.
Ethical instruction (dharma/karmaphala) embedded in Purāṇic narration; not a primary pancalakṣaṇa item.
‘Thirst’ can signify insatiable craving (tṛṣṇā) that drives beings toward painful objects; the lament shows attachment’s collapse when consequences manifest.
