Chapter 101 · A Minister and a Grandson
पूर्वाभाद्रपदा नक्षत्र द्वितीय चरण
तस्य पत्नी सती जाता सत्यलोकेऽवसत्तदा ॥ततः पुण्यक्षये जाते मर्त्यलोके सुरेश्वरि ॥ ८ ॥
His wife became a sati (a wife who dies with her husband). She then lived in Satyaloka (the world of truth). When that merit was used up, O Queen of the gods, came the world of mortals again.
Classical view, not medical advice.
मानुषत्वं ततो जातमयोध्यानगरे शिवे ॥
Then, O Shiva's wife, he was born as a man in the city of Ayodhya. He was a wise king's minister, rich in wealth and grain.
पौत्रस्तस्य मृतो देवि तदुद्देशेन भो शिवे ॥ १० ॥
His grandson died on his account, O Goddess, O Shiva's wife.
अतः पुत्रो न जायेत कन्या चैव प्रजायते ॥
So a son is not born to him. Only a daughter is born. A fierce, terrible fever stays in his body.
