garuda puranam Kinds of Sins which lead to Hell.

An Account of the Kinds of Sins which lead to Hell.

 

1. Garuḍa said: For what sins do they go on that great Way? Why do they fall into the Vaitaraṇī? Why do they go to hell? Tell me this, O Keśava.

2. The Blessed Lord said: 'Those who always delight in wrong deeds, who turn away from good deeds, go from hell to hell, from misery to misery, from fear to fear.

3. The righteous go into the city of the King of Justice by three gateway
s, but the sinful go into it only by the road of the southern gate.

4. The Vaitaraṇī River is only on this very miserable way. I will tell you who the sinners are who go by it.
