In the ancient narration of the Varaha Purana, the fate of a wicked soul is described with vivid clarity. After departing from its previous existence, this soul is cast into the womb of a pig, where it acquires numerous harsh diseases in the world. For five hundred years, it endures relentless torment in this form. Its journey continues, and it is reborn as a fierce bird, then later as a wolf, each existence marked by suffering and deprivation. When stripped of the fruits of its own actions, the soul attains a new birth, but even then, its pain does not cease. The wicked soul experiences terrible suffering in every incarnation. Such is the plight of those bound by their actions, and thousands upon thousands endure this cycle. Burned in the dreadful cauldrons of Kumbhipaka, the soul is then reborn as a donkey, subjected to various torments and stripped of wealth. Eventually, it attains human birth, but falls into the life of a thief and perpetrator of evil deeds. In one birth, it hangs from a tree branch with its head downward, and after a full hundred years, it is released only to be cast back again and again. Having previously been a boar, it becomes a mongoose in its next life. Reviled by all, this soul gives false testimony, is devoted to lying, and even usurps land. For every misdeed, it remains in suffering, moving from one existence to another. Eventually, remembering its previous births, it takes refuge in the wombs of animals, deprived of all desires yet burdened with every fault. Sometimes it is mute, sometimes one-eyed, and often afflicted with disease. The soul passes through thousands, tens of thousands, and even crores of other births. The lowest of men, especially those who steal land, suffer intense inner pain. Bound for a very long time, such a soul eventually reaches the world of the narrator, afflicted by severe hunger and restrained in captivity. After enduring sevenfold and singular births, it is cooked, and then becomes a cock, an eater of excrement. After a thousand births and deeds, the soul finally attains human birth once more. Having wandered thus for a thousand years, it is released from that region and takes birth as a boar again. In whatever form it attains, it becomes food for others. If it obtains human birth again, it may become a hunter once more, living a sinful and unrighteous life. A woman of bad conduct, who deceives her husband and breaks her character, is reborn as a female dog and then as a female pig. She does not attain happiness, suffering with misery, and food, eatables, and drink are withheld from her. Thus, the lesson is given: act for your welfare, for near the narrator is an evil-minded one. Such a wicked soul, performing all actions, is to be destroyed. Afterwards, it is cast into the birth of a robber, evil-minded and sinful, the doer of all evils. Its journey continues as it becomes an elephant, a horse, a jackal, a boar, or even a crane, each form marked by the consequences of its deeds. In this way, the Varaha Purana reveals the relentless passage of the wicked soul through countless births, each shaped by its actions, each marked by suffering, until redemption is sought through righteous conduct.
