Vāyu said: The following persons fall into the hell called Taptakumbha, viz.—He who commits Brāhmaṇa-slaughter, the defìler of the preceptor’s bed, those by whom a king’s soldier or a horse-trader is harassed and by whom a protector of wealth is tortured, one who sells a chaste woman and one who forsakes a devoted follower—all these fall into Taptakumbha.
