Shrouded in darkness, both invisible and visible, the army gathered, its ranks trembling as they beheld the mighty trident-wielder—Śiva himself, his eyes deformed, the destroyer of all living beings. Urged on by the commands of Citragupta, the servants of Yama surged forward, devouring and striking at their foes with relentless fury. In the midst of this chaos, a cry arose: “Today, O greatly fortunate one, protect us, Lord of the world!” Suddenly, Fever—enraged and blazing with immense brilliance—descended upon the battlefield, attacking thousands of warriors. Fever dispatched men who burned like fire, commanding, “Burn these sinners quickly, with your power and might!” By Fever’s order, his forces roared like thunderclouds, wielding shining arms and striking with many blows of their weapons. Yama himself then unleashed the battle, and in the tumult, he approached mighty Fever repeatedly, soothing him with respect. Amidst such confusion, Yama withdrew and entered his own house. After resting, the Lord of Dharma returned and approached Kāla, the great Fever, who was honored by all the worlds and was the cause of anger and exhaustion. Kāla declared, “We shall rule as we wish, as we have seen and as we have heard. I destroy all the worlds; I am the slayer of all—there is no doubt.” In that fierce battle, sixty million Rākṣasas were slain. Then, the fighting ceased, and Dharmarāja Yama himself stood amidst the aftermath. Yama’s messengers spoke with Citragupta, pondering both unwholesome and wholesome deeds—those formed by the qualities of one’s actions. They presented themselves before Kāla-cintaka and pleaded, “Now arise! Stand! Forgive, forgive, O Lord!” Thus concludes the two hundred and first chapter of the Śrī Varāha Purāṇa, named ‘The Battle of Rākṣasas and Servants,’ within the divine scripture and the cycle of transmigration. Now begins the description of the results of the punishments of hell. There, a wonder was beheld—a marvelous sight. Those cast into hell before now received the fruits of their actions. Many souls were tormented by the consequences of their dreadful deeds. Those of evil conduct, devoted to sin, merciless, and wicked-minded—such as the slayer of father, mother, or cow, possessed of all faults—were cast into blazing fire, cooked in oil, or again in ghee and honey. The man who steals beds or seats, or who gives fire, is exceedingly sinful and the destroyer of all sacred places. A false witness was instructed in both his ears, and a brahmin who conducts village sacrifices, unreliable, hypocritical, and deceitful, was swiftly punished. The tongue of this wicked sinner, whose speech was corrupt, was cut out. Overcome with greed and deluded by desire, having committed such wicked acts, the fraudulent brahmin’s limbs were broken everywhere. The sinful one who steals gold, and likewise the ungrateful man, after having his bones broken, had alkali and fire applied to his wounds. For the slanderer, five terrible, fierce, great tigers awaited as punishment. Thus, the fruits of sin and transgression were meted out in hell, as witnessed in the sacred Varāha Purāṇa.
