Translation by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada: 
 
Indra saw personified sinful reaction chasing him, appearing like a candala woman, a woman of the lowest class. She seemed very old, and all the limbs of her body trembled. Because she was afflicted with tuberculosis, her body and garments were covered with blood. Breathing an unbearable fishy odor that polluted the entire street, she called to Indra, “Wait! Wait!”
 
Purport by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada: 
 
When a person is afflicted with tuberculosis, he often vomits blood, which makes his garments bloody.
