Sūta said:: There are some Pitṛs other than these. They are entangled in births due to their Karmans. They only have dropped off from the duties of the Āśramas; those who are devoid of Svadhā and Svāhā; wicked souls with bodies pierced; those who have become ghosts in the abode of Yama; those who bewail their evil actions after reaching the place of torture; long-lived ones; extremely dried ones; those with moustaches; those without garments; those who are overwhelmed with hunger and thirst; those who run about here and there; those who wish to approach rivers, lakes, tanks and wells; those who are desirous of taking away others’ foodstuffs; those who are being taken away to different places; those who are being made to fall in different places; those who undergo tortures again and again in the following hells viz. Śālmala, Vaitaraṇī, Kumbhī-pāka, Karambhavālukā, Asipatra-vana and Śilā-Saṃpeṣaṇa due to their own previous actions. These miserable Pitṛs remaining there do `not perish. If three Piṇḍas (Balls of rice) are given to them on Darbha grasses not by the left (i.e. by the right) by their kinsmen on the ground by reciting their names and Gotras (lineage) they delight those Pitṛs who are stationed in the places of ghosts.
