我亲爱的国王，霸占他人合法妻子、儿女或钱财的人，在死时会被凶猛的阎摩杜达（Yamadūtas）逮捕。他们用时间的绳索捆绑他，强行将他投入名为Tāmisra的地狱星球。在这个黑暗的星球上，罪人受到阎摩杜达的惩罚，被殴打和斥责。他挨饿，没有水喝。因此，阎摩罗阇愤怒的助手让他遭受严重的痛苦，有时他会因受刑而昏厥。
FAQs
In 5.26.8, Śukadeva explains that one who steals another’s wealth, wife, or even children is seized by Yama’s messengers and thrown into the hell called Tāmisra, where he suffers starvation, thirst, beating, and terror.
Śukadeva Gosvāmī speaks these descriptions to Mahārāja Parīkṣit while explaining the destinations created by karma and the consequences of grave adharma.
It warns against exploiting others through theft, coercion, or violating family bonds; a devotee cultivates integrity, respect for others’ relationships and property, and seeks purification through bhakti rather than sin-driven enjoyment.
