**VipakShrut-Ang-11- ShrutSkandh-1, Chapter-6 (8)** He would get hands and feet of some tied with ropes made of leather,... and so on up to... cotton yarn, suspend them upside down in a well, dip them in water.
**(9)** He would get many pierced and slit with swords... and so on up to.. and kadambachirapatra and get alkaline oil rubbed in.
**(10)** He would get nails and bamboo pegs hammered in heads, Adam's apples, elbows, knees, and heels of some and get hooks inserted in some.
**(11)** Using small clubs he would get needles and other pointed instruments thrust in fingers and toes of some and force them to dig earth with these hands and feet.
**(12)** With numerous chisel-like instruments he would get various parts of the bodies of some scraped and get these parts wrapped with darbh (grass with roots), kusha (grass without roots) and wet leather. After that he would prostrate them in sun and pull out the wrappings when dry, in order to make the skin peal off with chad-chad' sound.
Ever involved in these sinful activities, accepting these activities to be ideal of his life and the best conduct, Jailer Duryodhan acquired extremely malevolent and pain causing karmas in abundance. After completing his life-span of three thousand one hundred years, he died and reincarnated in the sixth hell among the infernal beings having a maximum life span of twenty two Sagaropam (a metaphoric unit of time).
**[30]** Meaning-On leaving the sixth hell, the evil soul of that Jailer Duryodhan was conceived as a son in the womb of Bandhushri, the wife of king Shridaam in this Mathura city. On the twelfth day after his birth the parents named the child as Nandishen.
He was brought up under the care of five nursemaids. In due course he crossed adolescence and attained youth and was made the crown prince.
Having excessive craving for the kingdom and the harem, prince Nandishen was obsessed with the desire to kill king Shridaam and enjoy the royal wealth and power. Therefore, prince Nandishen got himself involved in seeking an opportunity when king Shridaam was alone, when no other royal person was there and when even an ordinary person was also not there.
When he did not get any such opportunity to kill king Shridaam, one day he called Chitra barber and said "Beloved of gods! You have unrestricted access at every place, involvement in all activities, and you can visit even the private quarters of the king unchecked and at will you are his close confidante). You regularly give him haircut and shave. As such, if while shaving king Shridaam you cut his throat and consequently the king dies, I will give you half the kingdom. Then, along with me, you will also be able to enjoy all the desirable and best of the pleasures and comforts and live happily ever after.
Chitra barber remained silent at this statement from prince Nandishen.
However, a little later Chitra barber was plagued with a doubt and apprehension—"If somehow king Shridaam comes to know of this conspiracy, I do not know what ghastly death he will deal me." Terrified bythis thought he furtively went to the king when alone, and joining his palms submitted humbly
"My lord! I know it for a fact that, overwhelmed by his greed for thekingdom, princeNandishen is eager to possess kingdom and enjoy the royal wealth by killing you."
