946. Thus disfigured, the person, with seemingly outstretched arms, is whirled around, the arms extended and motionless - which are not arms, only rags, slightly white, stretched out in this way. And as his body keeps being spun around, he is carried toward heaven, and it is proclaimed in front of all that he is of this [revengeful] character, so that the deepest shame may seize him. Thus he must become a supplicant, pleading [for forgiveness], and it is dictated to him what he must say in his plea.
