Englishपुराणम्
Englishकुम्भीपाक म् / KUMBHĪPĀKA (M). One of the twentyeight narakas (hells). It is intended for the cruel folk, who kill for food harmless animals and birds. Since such cruel folk are roasted in Kumbhī fire the hell came to be known by this name. Big vessels full of boiling oil are kept there and the servants of yama push the sinners into them. One who had killed an animal will be kept in the boiling oil for as many years as the number of hairs the animal killed by him had on its body. (devī bhāgavata, 8th skandha
