The family members discard those thieves. The relatives do not have any contact with them out of fear of the state government. The friends do 卐 not give them any protection. They become depressed when they are condemned by every one. Some people shout at them: 'Curse on you'. Those shameless thieves have to starve continuously. Those criminals cry due to severe cold, scorching heat and thirst. Their faces look pale and blushed. They always remain restless, dirty and weak. They remain tired or depressed. Some of them suffer from cough or several other diseases. They are not able to digest their food properly. So their body becomes weak. Their nails, hair, moustaches and the hair on chin grow long. They remain soaked with their own stool and urine in the prison (as they are not allowed to go anywhere else for the call of nature).

75. At the scaffold area, the limbs of certain thieves are chopped off and cut into pieces. They are hung with the branches of the tree. Their hands and feet are tied tightly. Some thieves are rolled down from the top of the hill or thrown away from there. As they are pushed from a great height, they have to tolerate the hurt as a result of stones lying hither and thither.

श्री प्रश्नव्याकरण सूत्र
Their sad state does not come to an end even when they die undergoing such terrible tortures. Their dead body is tied to a rope at their feet. They are pulled out from the prison dragging and then thrown in a pit or in a ditch. Thereafter, the leopards, dogs, jackals, pigs and birds having sharp beaks tear their body with their sharp teeth. Eagles and vultrue eat away some of the dead corpses. In some of the dead corpses of thieves, worms germinate and their dead body starts rotting. 5 (Thus even after their death, their dead body is treated in such a wretched manner. Even then there is not an end to their troubles). People condemn them with unpalatable words even after their death.
