That man who acquires riches by selling his own son, or who bestows his daughter after accepting a dower for his own livelihood, has to sink in seven dreadful hells one after another, known by the name of Kalas. There that wretch has to feed upon sweat and urine and stools during that period.
यो मनुष्यः स्वकं पुत्रं विक्रीय धनमिच्छति। कन्यां वा जीवितार्थाय यः शुल्केन प्रयच्छति॥ सप्तावरे महाघोरे निरये कालसाह्वये। स्वेदं मूत्रं पुरीषं च तस्मिन् मूढः समश्नुते॥
