Verse 7.25.28

भ्रान्त्वा भृशं करतलाहतकन्दुकाभं लोकाः पतन्ति निरयेषु रसेन रक्ताः ।
क्लेशेन तत्र परिजर्जरतां प्रयाताः कालान्तरेण पुनरन्यनिभा भवन्ति ॥ २८ ॥

bhrāntvā bhṛśaṃ karatalāhatakandukābhaṃ lokāḥ patanti nirayeṣu rasena raktāḥ |
kleśena tatra parijarjaratāṃ prayātāḥ kālāntareṇa punaranyanibhā bhavanti || 28 ||

Men being cast like a ball flung from the palm of fate, are hurried onward by their ardent desires till they are hurled headlong into the depth of hell; where being worried and worn out with hell torments, they take other forms and shapes after lapses of long periods.
