Skanda Purana — Avanti Khanda, Shloka 102
एवं ते किंकराः सर्वे पर्यटन्नरकमण्डले । नरकेऽपि स्थितिस्तस्य नास्ति पापस्य दुर्मतेः
evaṃ te kiṃkarāḥ sarve paryaṭannarakamaṇḍale | narake'pi sthitistasya nāsti pāpasya durmateḥ
ఇలా ఆ కింకరులందరూ నరకమండలమంతా తిరుగుతూ ఉన్నారు. ఆ పాపి దుర్మతికి నరకంలో కూడా స్థిర నివాసం లేదు।

Scene: Yama’s attendants roam a circular hellscape, dragging a sinner from sector to sector; signboards or distinct terrains suggest multiple hells; the sinner never allowed to settle.
