शूद्राणां विप्रपत्नी च विप्राणां शूद्रकामिनी । अत्यगम्या च निन्द्या च लोके वेदे पतिव्रते
For Śūdras, the wife of a Brahmin, and for Brahmins, a Śūdra woman, are especially forbidden and condemned in the world, in the Veda, and among chaste women.
शूद्रश्च ब्राह्मणीं गत्वा ब्रह्महत्याशतं लभेत् । तत्समं ब्राह्मणी चापि कुम्भीपाकं लभेद् ध्रुवम्
If a Śūdra approaches a Brahmin woman, he incurs the sin of a hundred Brahmin murders; likewise, a Brahmin woman who does so certainly attains the hell called Kumbhīpāka.
शूद्राणां विप्रपत्नी च विप्राणां शूद्रकामिनी । यदि शूद्रा व्रजेद्विप्रो वृषलीपतिरेव सः
For Śūdras, the wife of a Brahmin, and for Brahmins, a Śūdra woman—if a Brahmin goes to a Śūdra woman, he is indeed considered the husband of an outcaste.
स भ्रष्टो विप्रजातेश्च चाण्डालात्सोऽधमः स्मृतः । विष्ठासमश्च तत्पिण्डो मूत्रं तस्य च तर्पणम्
He falls from the Brahmin caste and is regarded as lower than a Cāṇḍāla; his food is like excrement, and urine is his libation.
न पितॄणां सुराणां च तद्दत्तमुपतिष्ठति । कोटिजन्मार्जितं पुण्यं तस्यार्चात्तपसार्जितम्
Offerings given by such a one do not reach the ancestors or the gods; all merit accumulated over millions of births through worship and austerity is destroyed.
द्विजस्य वृषलीलोभान्नश्यत्येव न संशयः । ब्राह्मणश्च सुरापीतिर्विड्भोजी वृषलीपतिः
A twice-born who, out of desire for an outcaste woman, is utterly ruined—there is no doubt; a Brahmin who drinks liquor, eats excrement, or becomes the husband of an outcaste woman—
तप्तमुद्रादग्धदेहस्तप्तशूलाङ्कितस्तथा । हरिवासरभोजी च कुम्भीपाकं व्रजेद् द्विजः
—whose body is branded with hot marks, who is marked with heated spears, or who eats on the day of Hari (Ekādaśī)—such a twice-born goes to the hell called Kumbhīpāka.
गुरुपत्नीं राजपत्नीं सपत्नीं मातरं ध्रुवम् । सुतां पुत्रवधूं श्वश्रूं सगर्भां भगिनीं सतीम्
The wife of the teacher, the wife of the king, a co-wife, one's own mother, daughter, daughter-in-law, mother-in-law, a pregnant woman, and a virtuous sister—
सहोदरभ्रातृजायां मातुलानीं पितुः प्रसूम् । मातुः प्रसूं तत्स्वसारं भगिनीं भ्रातृकन्यकाम्
—the wife of a uterine brother, the wife of the maternal uncle, the father's sister, the mother's sister, her daughter, one's own sister, and the brother's daughter—
शिष्यां शिष्यस्य पत्नीं च भागिनेयस्य कामिनीम् । भ्रातुः पुत्रप्रियां चैवात्यगम्या आह पद्मजः
—a female disciple, the wife of a disciple, the beloved of a nephew, and the beloved of a brother's son—these are declared by Padmaja as especially forbidden.
एताः कामेन कान्ता यो व्रजेद्वै मानवाधमः । स मातृगामी वेदेषु ब्रह्महत्याशतं व्रजेत्
A degraded man who approaches any of these women with desire is, according to the Vedas, a mother-violator and incurs the sin of a hundred Brahmin murders.
अकर्मार्होऽप्यसंस्पृश्यो लोके वेदे च निन्दितः । स याति कुम्भीपाके च महापापी सुदुष्करे
He is unfit for rituals, untouchable, condemned in the world and in the Veda; such a great sinner, extremely wicked, goes to Kumbhīpāka hell.
करोत्यशुद्धां सन्ध्यां वा न सन्ध्यां वा करोति च । त्रिसन्ध्यं वर्जयेद्यो वा सन्ध्याहीनश्च स द्विजः
One who performs the twilight worship impurely, or does not perform it at all, or neglects the three daily twilights—such a twice-born is deprived of the twilight rites.
वैष्णवं च तथा शैवं शाक्तं सौरं च गाणपम् । योऽहङ्कारान्न गृह्णाति मन्त्रं सोऽदीक्षितः स्मृतः
One who, out of pride, does not accept Vaiṣṇava, Śaiva, Śākta, Saura, or Gāṇapatya mantras is considered uninitiated.
प्रवाहमवधिं कृत्वा यावद्धस्तचतुष्टयम् । तत्र नारायणः स्वामी गङ्गागर्भान्तरे वसेत्
Setting the length of the current as far as four hand-spans, there, within the womb of the Ganga, Lord Narayana himself resides.
तत्र नारायणक्षेत्रे मृतो याति हरेः पदम् । वाराणस्यां बदर्यां च गङ्गासागरसङ्गमे
Whoever dies in that Narayana-kshetra attains the abode of Hari; also at Varanasi, Badari, and at the confluence of the Ganga and the ocean.
पुष्करे हरिहरक्षेत्रे प्रभासे कामरूस्थले । हरिद्वारे च केदारे तथा मातृपुरेऽपि च
At Pushkara, the Harihara-kshetra, Prabhasa, Kamarupa, Haridvara, Kedara, and likewise at Matripura,
सरस्वतीनदीतीरे पुण्ये वृन्दावने वने । गोदावर्यां च कौशिक्यां त्रिवेण्यां च हिमाचले
On the sacred bank of the Sarasvati river, in the forest of Vrindavana, in the Godavari, the Kausiki, at the Triveni, and in the Himalayas,
एषु तीर्थेषु यो दानं प्रतिगृह्णाति कामतः । स च तीर्थप्रतिग्राही कुम्भीपाके प्रयाति सः
Whoever, out of desire, accepts gifts at these holy places, that receiver of gifts at the tirthas surely goes to Kumbhipaka.
शूद्रसेवी शूद्रयाजी ग्रामयाजीति कीर्तितः । तथा देवोपजीवी च देवलः परिकीर्तितः
One who serves Shudras, performs sacrifices for Shudras, or is known as a village priest, as well as one who lives off the gods, is called a Devala.
शूद्रपाकोपजीवी यः सूपकार इति स्मृतः । सन्ध्यापूजनहीनश्च प्रमत्तः पतितः स्मृतः
He who lives off food cooked by Shudras is known as a Supakara; one who neglects the worship at twilight, being careless, is considered fallen.
उक्तं सर्वं मया भद्रे लक्षणं वृषलीपतेः । एते महापातकिनः कुम्भीपाकं प्रयान्ति ते । कुण्डान्यन्यानि ये यान्ति निबोध कथयामि ते
O blessed one, I have told you all the marks of the lord of the outcastes; these great sinners go to Kumbhipaka. Now listen as I tell you about those who go to other pits.
नानाकर्मविपाकफलकथनम् धर्मराज उवाच देवसेवां विना साध्वि न भवेत्कर्मकृन्तनम् । शुद्धकर्म शुद्धबीजं नरकश्च कुकर्मणा
Dharmaraja said: Without service to the gods, O virtuous one, there is no cutting off of karma; pure deeds yield pure results, and hell is the fruit of evil deeds.
पुंश्चल्यन्नं च यो भुङ्क्ते योऽस्यां गच्छेत्पतिव्रते । स द्विजः कालसूत्रं च मृतो याति सुदुर्गमम्
A twice-born who eats the food of an adulteress, or who approaches her, after death goes to the extremely difficult Kaalasutra.
शतवर्षं कालसूत्रे स्थिरीभूतो भवेद् ध्रुवम् । तत्र जन्मनि रोगी च ततः शुद्धो भवेद् द्विजः
He remains fixed in Kaalasutra for a hundred years, certainly; in his next birth, he is diseased, and after that, the twice-born becomes purified.
पतिव्रता चैकपतौ द्वितीये कुलटा स्मृता । तृतीये धर्षिणी ज्ञेया चतुर्थे पुंश्चलीत्यपि
A woman who is devoted to one husband is called a pativrata; with a second, she is called a kulata; with a third, she is known as a dharshini; with a fourth, a pumshchali.
वेश्या च पञ्चमे षष्ठे पुङ्गी च सप्तमेऽष्टमे । तत ऊर्ध्वं महावेश्या सास्पृश्या सर्वजातिषु
With a fifth, she is a courtesan; with a sixth, a pungi; with a seventh or eighth, she is a great courtesan, untouchable among all castes.
यो द्विजः कुलटां गच्छेद्धर्षिणीं पुंश्चलीमपि । पुङ्गीं वेश्यां महावेश्यां मत्स्योदे याति निश्चितम्
A twice-born who approaches a kulata, a dharshini, a pumshchali, a pungi, a courtesan, or a great courtesan, certainly goes to Matsyoda.
शताब्दं कुलटागामी धृष्टागामी चतुर्गुणम् । षड्गुणं पुंश्चलीगामी वेश्यागामी गुणाष्टकम्
One who goes to a kulata remains there for a hundred years; one who goes to a dharshini, four times that; to a pumshchali, six times; to a courtesan, eight times.
पुङ्गीगामी दशगुणं वसेत्तत्र न संशयः । महावेश्याकामुकश्च ततो दशगुणं वसेत्
One who goes to a pungi stays there ten times as long, without doubt; and one who is a lover of a great courtesan stays there ten times more than that.
