Verse 20

²⁰One who here goes to a woman he may not go to, or a woman who goes to a man she may not go to: those two they beat with a whip in the other place, and they make the man take a burning iron figure of a woman in his arms, and the woman a figure in the shape of a man. ²¹One who here goes to everyone alike, when he is in that place where there is no escape, they set upon the silk-cotton tree whose thorns are adamant, and drag him down through it. ²²Kshatriyas or king's men who here, holding no false teaching, break down the embankments of dharma go on death into Vaitarani. Having broken the bound, they fall into that river which is the moat of hell, and its water-creatures eat at them from this side and that; and they are not parted from their breath, but are carried along, remembering through their own foulness the ripening of what they did, scalded in that stream of dung and urine and pus and blood and hair and nails and bones and fat and flesh and marrow.

²³Those here who are husbands of low women, who have lost cleanness and conduct and rule, who have thrown off shame and live as animals live, they too when they are dead fall into a sea filled with pus and dung and urine and phlegm and filth, and they eat that same loathsome thing. ²⁴Those here who keep dogs and asses, brahmins and the rest who take their sport in hunting and kill animals out of season: when they have died Yama's men make targets of them and pierce them with arrows. ²⁵Those here who make a show and butcher animals in sacrifices that are show: those, fallen in the other world into the hell Vaisasa, the lords of that place torment and then butcher.

²⁶A twice-born who here, bewildered by desire, makes his wife of his own class drink his seed: that wrongdoer they throw in the other place into a river of seed and make him drink seed.
