 | A person who is born into a responsible family — such as a kṣatriya, a member of royalty or a government servant — but who neglects to execute his prescribed duties according to religious principles, and who thus becomes degraded, falls down at the time of death into the river of hell known as Vaitaraṇī. This river, which is a moat surrounding hell, is full of ferocious aquatic animals. When a sinful man is thrown into the river Vaitaraṇī, the aquatic animals there immediately begin to eat him, but because of his extremely sinful life, he does not leave his body. He constantly remembers his sinful activities and suffers terribly in that river, which is full of stool, urine, pus, blood, hair, nails, bones, marrow, flesh and fat. | | | La persona que nace en una familia con responsabilidades - como por ejemplo un kṣatriya, un miembro de la realeza o un oficial del gobierno - , pero descuida la ejecución de sus deberes prescritos conforme a los principios religiosos, y debido a ello se degrada, en el momento de la muerte desciende al infernal río Vaitaraṇī. Ese río, que es un infierno en forma de foso, está lleno de animales acuáticos muy feroces. Tan pronto como el pecador es arrojado al río Vaitaraṇī, esos animales acuáticos comienzan a devorarle, pero debido a su vida extremadamente pecaminosa, no abandona el cuerpo; recuerda constantemente sus actividades pecaminosas y sufre lo indecible en ese río, que está lleno de excremento, orina, pus, sangre, pelo, uñas, huesos, médula, carne y grasa. | |
