Vāyu said: The tortures that the Naraka-dwellers are subjected to are declared to be innumerable. There, the misery is experienced by them. When their Karman is almost exhausted they are born of animal wombs due to the residue of their Karmans. The Devas and the Naraka-dwellers are stationed above and below.
