Krimibhojana

In the Hindu mythology, Krimibhojana is one of the hells situated below the Patala.

It is believed that a person is no better than a crow if after receiving some food, he does not divide it among guests, old men and children, but simply eats it himself, or if he eats it without performing the five kinds of sacrifice. After death this person is put into the most terrible hell, known as Krimibhojana. In the hell Krimibhojana there is a lake about one lakh yojanas or eight lakhs miles wide and filled with worms. The person is converted to a worm in that lake and feeds on the other worms there, who also feed on him. The soul is tormented unless the person repents for his actions before his death. Thus a sinful man remains in the hellish lake of Krimibhojana for as many years as there are yojanas in the width of the lake.
