Soul

According to Garuda Purana, after the death of a living being, when the soul leaves the body, Yamdoots come to take it to Yamalok.

Garuda Purana

According to Garuda Purana, after this, that sinful soul is forced to continue on its journey after suffering many kinds of troubles and reaches Yamalok. After this Yamdoot punishes him. After this, that soul returns to its home again with the messengers of Yamraj on the orders of Yamraj.

Journey to hell

According to Garuda Purana, the soul wants to re-enter its body but is unable to do so and cries due to hunger and thirst. A sinful soul does not get satisfaction even from Pind Daan and remains hungry and thirsty.

Soul coming home

According to Garuda Purana, Pind Daan must be performed for 10 days after the death of a person. If Pind Daan is not performed, the sinful soul gets angry and stays in the deserted forest for a long time.

According to Garuda Purana, Pind Daan is necessary, on the thirteenth day the hungry and thirsty soul is caught by the messengers of Yama, after which that soul goes to Yamalok.
