In Hinduism
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Puranic EncyclopediaKumbhīpāka (कुम्भीपाक).—One of the twentyeight narakas (hells). It is intended for the cruel folk, who kill for food harmless animals and birds. Since such cruel folk are roasted in Kumbhī fire the hell came to be known by this name. Big vessels full of boiling oil are kept there and the servants of Yama push the sinners into them. One who had killed an animal will be kept in the boiling oil for as many years as the number of hairs the animal killed by him had on its body. (Devī Bhāgavata, 8th Skandha; also see under Pitṛtīrtha).

The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Wisdom Library: Śrīmad Devī BhāgavatamKumbhīpāka (कुम्भीपाक) refers to one of the thirty hells (naraka) mentioned in the Devī-bhāgavata-purāṇa 8.21 (on the narrative of hells). The hells are destinations where dead beings brought by messengers of Yama (the God of the Pitṛs), and get punished by him according to their karmas and faults.
The Devī-bhāgavata-purāṇa or Śrīmad-devī-bhāgavatam (mentioning Kumbhīpāka), is categorised as a Mahāpurāṇa, a type of Sanskrit literature containing cultural information on ancient India, religious/spiritual prescriptions and a range of topics concerning the various arts and sciences. The whole text is composed of 18,000 metrical verses, possibly originating from before the 6th century.
Shakta (शाक्त, śākta) or Shaktism (śāktism) represents a tradition of Hinduism where the Goddess (Devi) is revered and worshipped. Shakta literature includes a range of scriptures, including various Agamas and Tantras, although its roots may be traced back to the Vedas.
