TRANSLATION

My dear King, a person who appropriates another’s legitimate
wife, children or money is arrested at the time of death by the
fierce Yamaditas, who bind him with the rope of time and forcibly
throw him into the hellish planet known as Tamisra. On this very
dark planet, the sinful man is chastised by the Yamaditas, who
beat and rebuke him. He is starved, and he is given no water to
drink. Thus the wrathful assistants of Yamaraja cause him severe
suffering, and sometimes he faints from their chastisement.
