Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 31
बीभत्सुरिति विख्यातः सप्तमो नरकाधमः । मूत्रामेध्य समाकीर्णः समंतादतिगर्हितः
bībhatsuriti vikhyātaḥ saptamo narakādhamaḥ | mūtrāmedhya samākīrṇaḥ samaṃtādatigarhitaḥ
ساتواں (نرک)، جو دوزخوں میں سب سے زیادہ مکروہ ہے، ‘بیبھتسو’ کے نام سے مشہور ہے۔ یہ پیشاب اور گندگی سے ہر طرف بھرا ہوا ہے اور چاروں جانب سے نہایت نفرت انگیز ہے۔
Skanda (deduced from Nāgara Khaṇḍa Tīrthamāhātmya narrative style)
Scene: A panoramic infernal pit labeled ‘Bībhatsu’: pools of urine and filth, oppressive atmosphere, sinners mired in sludge, attendants forcing them through the mire; the scene is designed to evoke total loathing.
