- । ॥ ३४ ॥
In plain words
A river of live coals. Tapana, the scorching. Kumbhīpāka, where you are boiled in the pot. Vīcī. The forest where every leaf is a blade. Think through the pain that Yama's messengers deal out in those places — who, after that, does not turn away?
Close to the Sanskrit
In the river of burning coals, and in Tapana, and in Kumbhīpāka too, in Vīcī, in the forest of sword-leaves — having considered the torment being inflicted by the messengers of Yama, who indeed does not come to turning away?
