ANDHATĀMISRA . One of the 28 hells. (See Naraka).

This hell is destined for wives who cheat their husbands

and consume food and for husbands who cheat their

wives and eat food. Agents of Yama get hold of

such sinners and push them into the Andhatāmisra. As

the cords of the agents with which they bind the sin-

ners get tighter around their bodies they faint and fall

down owing to unbearable pain. When they regain

consciousness and try to run away and escape, the

Agents of Yama again bind them with the cord. (Devī

Bhāgavata, Aṣṭama Skandha).
