Naraka-varṇana: The Hellish Planets and the Karmic Logic of Punishment
एवमेव महारौरवो यत्र निपतितं पुरुषं क्रव्यादा नाम रुरवस्तं क्रव्येण घातयन्ति य: केवलं देहम्भर: ॥ १२ ॥
evam eva mahārauravo yatra nipatitaṁ puruṣaṁ kravyādā nāma ruravas taṁ kravyeṇa ghātayanti yaḥ kevalaṁ dehambharaḥ.
同样,名为“摩诃劳罗婆”(Mahāraurava)的地狱,专为那种只为养活自身而伤害他者的人而设。在那里,被称为“食肉者”(kravyāda)的噜噜兽折磨他,并吞食其肉。
The animalistic person who lives simply in the bodily concept of life is not excused. He is put into the hell known as Mahāraurava and attacked by ruru animals known as kravyādas.
Mahāraurava is a hellish region described in Canto 5, Chapter 26, where flesh-eating beings called Kravyādas torment those who lived merely for bodily maintenance, absorbed in material survival and gratification.
Śukadeva explains the karmic results of sinful and bodily-centered living to awaken detachment and urgency for devotional surrender, guiding Parīkṣit toward exclusive remembrance of the Lord.
Use the body as a tool for dharma and bhakti—keep it healthy and responsible, but don’t make bodily comfort the goal; prioritize sādhana, service, and God-centered choices over mere consumption and survival-anxiety.
