PLATE SEVEN
“After killing the  brāhmaṇa  Vṛtrāsura, King Indra suffered because of this sinful killing. Indra saw personified sinful reaction chasing him, appearing like a  caṇḍāla  woman, a woman of the lowest class. She seemed very old, and all the limbs of her body trembled. Because she was afflicted with tuberculosis, her body and garments were covered with blood. Breathing an unbearable fishy odor that polluted the entire street, she called to Indra, ‘Wait! Wait!’ Indra first fled to the sky, but there also he saw the woman of personified sin chasing him. This witch followed him wherever he went. At last he very quickly went to the northeast and entered the Mānasa-sarovara Lake.” ( pp. 258–260 )
