महाकटाहनरके दूतैः क्षिप्तो यमाज्ञया ॥
By the order of Yama (the god of death), his messengers threw him into the hell of the great cauldron. He suffered the fruit of hell for one yuga…
नरकान्निर्गतो देवि व्याघ्रयोनिस्ततोऽभवत् ॥
Coming out of hell, O Goddess, he was born a tiger. After living as a tiger, he became a jackal.
ततः काकस्य वै योनिं भुक्त्वा नरकमाप्नुयात् ॥
After living as a crow, he went to hell. Then, O queen of the gods, he got a human birth in a most holy land.
