Note 63 — Chapter V · WORSHIP OF THE MALEVOLENT DEAD.
Reading edition
Dharmarāja keeps an account of the good and bad actions of all men in his book called siddhi karan, and dispenses justice according to it. A man guilty of adultery is sentenced to embrace a redhot image of a woman; one who has slaughtered animals is devoured by those animals; while those who have committed the sin of murdering Brāhmans are relegated to hell for ever.63
