सोऽहं तैर्बहुभिश्चीर्णैः पातकैरंत आगते । मृतो गतो यमस्थानं पातितः कूटशाल्मलीम्
so'haṃ tairbahubhiścīrṇaiḥ pātakairaṃta āgate | mṛto gato yamasthānaṃ pātitaḥ kūṭaśālmalīm
Vì thế, sau khi đã gây bao tội lỗi, khi giờ tận cùng đến, ta chết, đi đến cõi của Yama, và bị quăng xuống địa ngục mang tên Kūṭaśālmalī.
A repentant sinner (self-confession narrative; specific name not in snippet)
Tirtha: Kūṭaśālmalī (Naraka)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A soul is led to Yama’s court and then hurled into a terrifying hellscape labeled Kūṭaśālmalī—spiked śālmalī trees, jagged terrain, dark-red sky; Yama’s attendants loom with nooses.
Actions have consequences; repeated sin leads to painful post-mortem retribution under Yama’s order.
None; the verse discusses the afterlife realm of Yama, not a pilgrimage site.
None explicitly; it underscores karmic accountability.
