Tīrtha-vaṃśa Upadeśa: Instruction on the Fruits of Sacred Waters
पाषण्डा दूषकाश्चैव समयानां च दूषका: । ये प्रत्यवसिता श्चैव ते वै निरयगामिन:
pāṣaṇḍā dūṣakāś caiva samayānāṃ ca dūṣakāḥ | ye pratyavasitāś caiva te vai nirayagāminaḥ ||
毗湿摩说道：“凡持邪见者，凡诋毁他人者，凡败坏或反对既定宗教仪轨者，凡曾正式出离而后又回归居家生活者——此等之人，确实堕入地狱。”

Educational Q&A
The verse warns that undermining dharma—through heretical conduct, malicious criticism, corrupting religious observances, or breaking the integrity of a renunciant vow by reverting to household life—leads to severe moral consequence (naraka). It emphasizes fidelity to vows and protection of religious-social discipline.
In Anuśāsana Parva, Bhīṣma instructs Yudhiṣṭhira on dharma and right conduct. Here he lists categories of behavior seen as destructive to religious order and vows, stating their karmic outcome as hell-boundness.
