पिबन्ति रुधिरं तत्र येऽभियान्ति रजस्वलाम् । असिपत्रवने घोरे पीड्यन्ते पापकारिणः
pibanti rudhiraṃ tatra ye'bhiyānti rajasvalām | asipatravane ghore pīḍyante pāpakāriṇaḥ
Tại đó, những kẻ tội lỗi gần gũi phụ nữ đang trong kỳ kinh nguyệt sẽ bị bắt uống máu; những kẻ làm ác như vậy bị hành hạ trong khu rừng khủng khiếp có lá sắc như dao (Asipatravana).
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) narrating to the sages (deduced from Purāṇic narration style within Āvantya Khaṇḍa sections)
Tirtha: Asipatravana (infernal forest)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A terrifying scene: sinners forced to drink blood near a red-flowing river; then driven into Asipatravana where leaves are blades cutting the body; Yama-dūtas herd them onward.
It teaches restraint and adherence to dharma: violating prescribed ethical boundaries leads to painful karmic consequences.
The broader setting is the Revā Khaṇḍa (Revā/Narmadā sacred region); this verse itself focuses on naraka (Asipatravana) as a warning within that māhātmya context.
No direct ritual (snāna, dāna, japa) is prescribed in this verse; it states a prohibition and its karmic result.
