Sevartaru Daljut Asipatra,

Asi Jyaun Deh Vidaarain Tatra;

Meru-Pramaan Loh Gali Jaay,

Aisee Seet-Ushnnataa Thaay.

Meaning:

In the infernal realm, there are leaves of the 'Sevar' trees that have sharp edges like a sword. When they fall on the inhabitants they pierce through the body. The climate is so intensely hot that a lump of iron as big as mount Meru can melt just like the wax of the candle and it is also so cold that the same lump of iron melts away as if the salt into the water.
