Those devoted to fake observances; those who rebuke the religion of the Vedas; those who have fallen (paribhraṣṭa) from caste and religious duties; those who have erred and think themselves learned, they are [all] called Pāṣaṇḍas [because] they act contrary to [true] religion. They fall into a terrifying hell until the end of the world. [...]”
