अधस्तादत्र चैतेषां द्विजाः सप्त तलानि तु महातलादयस्तेषां अधस्तान्नरकाः क्रमात्

adhastādatra caiteṣāṃ dvijāḥ sapta talāni tu mahātalādayasteṣāṃ adhastānnarakāḥ kramāt

ഹേ ദ്വിജന്മാരേ, ഈ ലോകങ്ങളുടെ താഴെ മഹാതലം മുതലായ ഏഴ് തലങ്ങൾ ഉണ്ട്; അവയുടെ താഴെ ക്രമമായി നരകങ്ങൾ—അവിടെ പാശബന്ധിത ജീവൻ പ്രഭു (പതി)യുടെ അധീനത്തിൽ കർമഫലം അനുഭവിക്കുന്നു.
