Chapter 107 · A Proud Initiate and a Traveller
उत्तराभाद्रपदा नक्षत्र चतुर्थ चरण
रुद्राक्षालंकृतो दान्तस्तस्मै क्रूरमभाषत ॥विषमाहारपानादौ दत्तं तेन द्विजन्मने ॥ ४ ॥
The traveller wore rudraksha (Shiva's holy beads) and was self-controlled. The brahmin spoke cruelly to him. Then he gave that twice-born man poison in his food and drink.
Classical view, not medical advice.
रात्रौ तद्द्रव्यलोभेन घटं कृत्वा त्वपाहरत् ॥
At night, greedy for the man's wealth, he used a pot and carried him off. That sinful man, the lowest of Vaishnavas, put the brahmin into a well.
कालान्तरे मृतिर्जाता तस्य साधोर्दुरात्मनः ॥
After some time that wicked man died. He always remembered the name of Vishnu, so he reached a home in Vaikuntha (Vishnu's heaven).
क्षीणे पुण्ये ततो देवि विड्भक्षो ग्रामसूकरः ॥
When his merit ran out, O Goddess, he became a village pig that eats filth. Then he was born as a man, and is seen to be without a son.
