O Lord, what fate do they meet with after death? Bewildered by many a fancy, enmeshed in the snare of delusion, addicted to the hoarding of wealth and enjoyment of sensual pleasures, they fall into the foulest hells.(16) What are the marks of those, demoniac in nature attached to pleasures which conduce them to ruin? They are self-conceited, stubborn, filled with pride and intoxicated with wealth. Can they not perform good actions, O Lord? Yes, they perform good actions such as nominal sacrifice etc., for show and contrary to the scriptural ordinance.(17) Why do they do so? They do so because they are given over to egoism, brute-force, pride, passion and anger. What other feelings do they have? They have malice; they find fault with Me and with others and they hate Me, who dwells in the bodies of others as well as in their own bodies.(18) What is the outcome of possessing this demoniacal disposition, O Lord? These haters possessing cruel and evil nature, and vilest among men, I repeatedly throw into demoniacal wombs of animals such as dogs, donkeys, tigers, crows, owls, vultures, snakes and scorpions etc.(19) |
