Ashtaka said: When life is destroyed by age, vultures, Shitikantha, insects and worms eat up the human body, where does man then live? How does he come to life again? I have never heard of any hell called Bhauma.
अष्टक उवाच यदा तु तान् वितुदन्ते वयांसि तथा गृध्राः शितिकण्ठाः पतङ्गाः। कथं भवन्ति कथमाभवन्ति न भौममन्यं नरकं शृणोमि॥
