29. Those demon gods (yamapurush) who laugh at the hellish beings running away hither and thither and have no compassion for them. They forcibly catch them, open their mouth with iron rod and put boiling melted lead in it. The hellish beings weep bitterly and cry vigorously when their mouth burns with melted lead. They cry like a pigeon seeking mercy. They weep bitterly, bemoan and cry.
The guardians of hell stop them, chain them and than the hellish beings weep bitterly, cry, grumble and then the guardians of hell threaten them with hard words in a loud voice. They say, “Catch him, beat him, hit him, pierce him, cut him, pull out his skin, take out his eyes, cut him into small pieces, kill him, beat him again more severely. Put extremely hot lead in his mouth. Throw him down with great force. Put more lead in his mouth, pull him, pull him facing the ground.
Later the guardians of hell tell them while threatening, "Why don't you speak ? You recollect your sins, your bad deeds.' Thus there occurs a dreadful reaction of the extremely dreadful voice of guardians of hell. Such a sound creates such a fear in hellish beings as if there is a great disturbing sound in a city at the time of dreadful fire. Thus one hears continuously bemoaning sound of the hellish beings suffering tortures. नारकों की विविध पीड़ाएं VARIOUS TORTURES OF INFERNAL BEINGS
