Chapter 102 · A Brahmin Who Left His Parents
पूर्वाभाद्रपदा नक्षत्र तृतीय चरण
धनं तु संचितं तेन म्लेच्छभार्यासु तत्परः ॥श्राद्धकर्मविहीनश्च पितुर्मातुश्च निन्दकः ॥ ३ ॥
He piled up wealth. He was devoted to foreign women. He did no shraddha (rite for the dead ancestors), and he spoke ill of his father and mother.
Classical view, not medical advice.
एवं बहुगते काले मरणं तस्य जायते ॥
After much time had passed, he died. He went to the terrible hell named Maharaurava (the great fierce hell).
निक्षितः शृङ्खलैर्बद्ध्वा यमदूतैर्यमाज्ञया ॥
The messengers of Yama (the god of death) threw him in, tied with chains, at Yama's order. He suffered the pains of hell for sixty thousand years…
नरकान्निःसृतो देवि गोधायोनिरभूत्पुरा ॥
Coming out of hell, O Goddess, he was first born as a monitor lizard. Next he was born as a lizard. Then he became a sparrow.
