Chapter 100 · A Vegetable Seller's Trust
पूर्वाभाद्रपदा नक्षत्र प्रथम चरण
बहुवर्षसहस्राणां स्वर्गवासस्ततोऽभवत् ॥ततः पुण्यक्षये जाते मानुषत्वं ततोऽभवत् ॥ ९ ॥
He lived in heaven for many thousands of years. Then, when his merit was used up, a human birth came.
Classical view, not medical advice.
शूद्रयोनिं विशालाक्षि देहजस्य कुले तदा ॥
He was born in a shudra (servant class) womb, O large-eyed one, in the family of his son. His wife is married for the second time, through the link…
धनधान्यसमायुक्तो विद्यावान् कुलपूजितः ॥
He has wealth and grain, is learned, and is honoured by his family. Fair of body, he himself gained knowledge of the views of the lower castes.
पूर्वजन्मनि भो देवि ब्राह्मणाय विषं ददौ ॥
In the past birth, O Goddess, he gave poison to a brahmin. His wife, O large-eyed one, became a sinner by that same sin.
