Sūtra translation
The Smritis also declare this.
- “ All evil-doers go to hell and this is not to be doubt- ed ; there, having been put to torments, those who hate Janardana, surely fall down ; and as for those that have fallen into the ‘ MahaTamas * (the great hell of darkness), there is no rising out of it. But for other sinners there is the possibility of rising up. In all (other) places, there is the alternation of pleasure and pain and vice versá but in the hell called the Panchakasta, (the place of eter- nal damnation), there is eternal pain ”; and so on.
