The attainment of hell by Subhūmachkravarti due to violence
It is definitely stated in the Yogaśāstra, Second Light, verse 27, that due to violence, Subhūmachkravarti will attain hell. By this justice, the Kshatriya indicator, Parashurama's axe, began to burn there. Therefore, he immediately asked the ascetics, "Is there any Kshatriya here?" They said, "We have become ascetics, being Kshatriyas." Just as a mountain peak is made grassless by a wildfire, so after that, Parashurama made the earth Kshatriya-less seven times with his fiery anger. Therefore, Parashurama filled the shining platter, like the full-fledged recipient of Yama, with the teeth of the destroyed Kshatriyas, equal to his fulfilled aspirations. Once, he asked some fortune-tellers, "By whose hands will I be killed?" The one who harbors enmity and opposition always has a constant fear of death from his enemies. Those fortune-tellers said, "These teeth will turn into kheer (rice pudding) upon the gaze of one, and the one who sits on that throne and eats that kheer, he will be your killer in the future." Parashurama built a charitable kitchen where anyone could come and receive charity without any restrictions. He established a throne in front of it and placed that platter filled with teeth on it.
Meanwhile, in the ashram, Subhūma, nurtured and raised by the ascetics every day, grew day by day like a tree planted in the courtyard. One day, a Vidyadhara named Meghnāth asked a fortune-teller, "My daughter, Padmashri, has become wise. To whom should I give her?" Then, after calculating, he said, "Make Subhūma, with his well-proportioned shoulders, her husband." Meghnāth, seeing an auspicious time, performed the wedding ceremony of his daughter with Subhūma and himself became his attendant. Subhūma, ignorant of other places like a frog in a well, one day asked his mother, "Mother! Is this the only world? Is there nothing beyond this?" His mother said, "Son! The world has no end. Our ashram is in this world, in a space as small as the space for a fly to land its foot. In this world, there is a famous city called Hastinapur. There, your father, the mighty King Kritavīrya, ruled. One day, Parashurama killed your father and took control of his kingdom. He made this earth Kshatriya-less. It is because of his fear that we are living here." Hearing this, Subhūma, who was angry at his enemy like Mars, immediately went to Hastinapur. Truly, Kshatriya valor is invincible. He went straight to Parashurama's charitable kitchen like a lion and sat on the throne. The teeth instantly turned into kheer. The mighty Subhūma ate that kheer. Just as a lion kills deer, so too, Meghnāth, the Vidyadhara, killed all the Brahmins who were stationed there for protection, eager for war. Parashurama, with his beard and hair fluttering, biting his lips in anger, came there quickly like the noose of death, where Subhūma was. As soon as he arrived, he threw his axe at Subhūma. But it became calm instantly, like fire in water. Seeing no other weapon at that time, Subhūma also picked up that platter of teeth and started spinning it like a wheel. It also instantly became a jewel-studded wheel. Truly, if one has virtuous wealth, then what is impossible? Now, Subhūma had manifested as the eighth Chakravarti. Therefore, he cut off Parashurama's head with that radiant wheel, like a lotus. Just as Parashurama had made the earth Kshatriya-less seven times, so too, Subhūma made the earth Brahmin-less twenty-one times. After that, Subhūma, with his newly formed army, first conquered the east, liberating the elephants, horses, chariots, and infantry of the former king, shedding a new river of blood. After that, Subhūma, who adorned the earth with the severed heads of many warriors, conquered the south like the lord of the south, and achieved victory there. After achieving victory, he hoisted the victory flag everywhere. Then, effortlessly, opening the Vaitalya cave, Subhūma, mighty like Mount Meru, entered the Uttarakhand region of India to conquer the Mlechchas. In this way, traveling in all four directions, Subhūma devoured the warriors and the earth in the same way that two millstones grind grains. Similarly, he scattered the bones of the warriors on the western coast as a sign of victory in the west, as if seashells and conch shells were spread all around the coast. In this way, Subhūma performed the six-fold practice. Continuously killing the five-sense beings and constantly burning his inner self with the fire of fierce meditation, Subhūma Chakravarti died and went to the seventh hell. 1. In another story, there is a description of death while going to the seventh section.
