In the Mahapurana, the Uttara Purana, the king asked the muni, "O Muni, is this act of mine virtuous or sinful? Please tell me." The muni replied, "This act is condemned by the Dharma Shastra. This act itself will send the doer to the seventh hell. You will know this on the seventh day when the earth will fall. This will be the sign that you have attained the seventh earth."

The extremely wicked Mahakal, filled with intense anger, went to the hell with his winds of enmity to punish him. However, his descent was limited to the third hell. He searched for him there, but when he couldn't find him, he left mercilessly and began to devise a way to kill his enemies, including the minister Vishvabhu.
