अन्धकूपम् / ANDHAKŪPA(M). In the devī bhāgavata Mahāviṣṇu describes 28 hells to nārada,  and andhakūpam is one of them. (see naraka). andhakūpa is reserved for those who kill either Brahmins or devotees of God or Sannyāsins (holy people). This hell abounds in cruel beasts like the bear and leopard,  evil birds like the eagle,  reptiles like the snake and scorpion and dirty insects like bugs and mosquitos. The sinner will have to put up with all these sufferings in hell till the period of his punishment expires. (devī bhāgavata,  Aṣṭama skandha).
