Yayati said : As I have lost my religious virtues, I am falling into the Bhauma,(earth) hell. I shall go there after finishing my talk with you. The Lokapalas are commanding me even now to hasten thither.
ययातिरुवाच इमं भौमं नरकं क्षीणपुण्यः प्रवेष्टुमुर्वी गगनाद् विप्रहीणः। उक्त्वाहं वः प्रपतिष्याम्यनन्तरं त्वरन्ति मां लोकपा ब्रह्मणो ये॥
