Dehānta (Cyavana) and Upapatti: Kāśyapa’s Questions and the Siddha’s Account of Death, Pain, and Karmic Re-embodiment
इहैवाशुभकर्माण: कर्मभिर्निरयं गता: । अवाग्गतिरियं कष्टा यत्र पच्यन्ति मानवा: । तस्मात् सुदुर्लभो मोक्षो रक्ष्यक्षात्मा ततो भूशम्,यहीं पाप करनेवाले मानव अपने कर्मोंके अनुसार नरकमें पड़ते हैं। यह जीवकी अधोगति है जो घोर कष्ट देनेवाली है। इसमें पड़कर पापी मनुष्य नरकाग्निमें पकाये जाते हैं। उससे छुटकारा मिलना बहुत कठिन है। अतः (पापकर्मसे दूर रहकर) अपनेको नरकसे बचाये रखनेका विशेष प्रयत्न करना चाहिये
ihaivāśubhakarmāṇaḥ karmabhir nirayaṃ gatāḥ | avāggatir iyaṃ kaṣṭā yatra pacyanti mānavāḥ | tasmāt sudurlabho mokṣo rakṣyātmā tato bhūśam ||
Aqui mesmo, os que se entregam a atos infaustos, impelidos pelas próprias ações, caem no inferno. Este é o curso descendente da alma—duro e penoso—onde os homens são “cozidos” no tormento. Por isso, libertar-se disso é extremamente difícil; deve-se, com grande cuidado, proteger-se de tal destino, refreando-se do ato pecaminoso.
सिद्ध उवाच
Educational Q&A
Evil actions lead to a painful downward destiny (hell) according to one’s own karma; since escape (moksha) from such a condition is extremely hard, one should vigilantly guard oneself by avoiding sinful conduct.
A Siddha delivers a didactic warning: he describes the karmic consequence of aśubha-karman—falling into niraya where beings suffer intense torment—and urges disciplined self-protection through ethical restraint.
