यमस्य भवने दिव्ये ब्रहलोकसमे गुणै: । कर्मभिनियतैर्बद्धो जन्तुर्दु:खान्युपाश्चुते,यमराजका भवन सौन्दर्य आदि गुणोंके कारण ब्रह्मलोकके समान दिव्य भी है। परंतु अपने नियत पापकर्मोसे बँधा हुआ जीव वहाँ भी नरकमें पड़कर दुःख भोगता है

Translation
Yudhiṣṭhira berkata: “Di kediaman Yama yang bercahaya—yang bersifat ilahi dan, oleh keunggulannya, sebanding dengan Brahmaloka—namun makhluk hidup, terikat rapat oleh paksaan perbuatannya sendiri, tetap menanggung penderitaan.”
