Chapter 103 · A Hunter's Gold Garland
पूर्वाभाद्रपदा नक्षत्र चतुर्थ चरण
॥ शिव उवाच ॥वैदण्डे च पुरे देवि लुब्धको वसति प्रिये ॥सेमानाम्ना स विख्यातस्तस्य भार्यातिनिष्ठुरा ॥ १ ॥
Shiva said: In the city of Vaidanda, O Goddess, a hunter lived, dear one. He was famous by the name Sema. His wife was very cruel.
Classical view, not medical advice.
प्रत्यहं मृगमांसेन व्ययं कुर्य्याद्दिनेदिने ॥
Every day he met his spending with deer meat. In this way, dear one, the hunter's whole life passed.
मरणं तस्य वै जातं यमदूतैर्यमाज्ञया ॥
He died. The messengers of Yama (the god of death) threw him into a terrible hell. This was at Yama's order, for sixty thousand years.
भुक्तं च विविधं दुःखं कृमिसूचीमुखैर्युतम् ॥
He suffered many kinds of pain there, from worms with mouths like needles. Then he was born as a man, with wealth and grain.
