Punishment in the hell called Mahāraurava is compulsory for a person who maintains his own body by hurting others. In this hell, ruru animals known as kravyāda torment him and eat his flesh.
Purport

The animalistic person who lives simply in the bodily concept of life is not excused. He is put into the hell known as Mahāraurava and attacked by ruru animals known as kravyādas.

Translation
In Mahāraurava, ruru animals known as kravyāda torment a person who maintains his body only by harming others by eating his flesh. They torment him by using his flesh as their meat. Kevalam means “by violence to other entities.”
