Translation

My dear King, a person who appropriates another’s legitimate wife, children or money is arrested at the time of death by the fierce Yamadūtas, who bind him with the rope of time and forcibly throw him into the hellish planet known as Tāmisra. On this very dark planet, the sinful man is chastised by the Yamadūtas, who beat and rebuke him. He is starved, and he is given no water to drink. Thus the wrathful assistants of Yamarāja cause him severe suffering, and sometimes he faints from their chastisement.

Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

A person who appropriates another's legitimate wife, children or money, after being bound up with Yama’s ropes of time by the fierce Yamadūtas, is forcibly thrown into Tāmisra. On this very dark planet, the sinful man suffers by chastisement, beating, starvation and lack of water. Severely suffering, sometimes he faints in that very dark place. Yātyamānaḥ means suffering. Tāmisra-praye means “in a very dark place.”
