gṛhṇanti yāvataḥ pāṁśūn

brahma-dāyāpahāriṇaḥ

WORD BY WORD



TRANSLATION

For as many years as there are particles of dust touched by the tears of generous brāhmaṇas who have dependent families and whose property is stolen, uncontrolled kings who usurp a brāhmaṇa’s property are cooked, along with their royal families, in the hell known as Kumbhīpāka.
