Chapter 108 · A Hunter of Magadha
रेवती नक्षत्र प्रथम चरण
॥ शिव उवाच ॥मगधे विषये देवि लुब्धको वसति प्रिये ॥प्रत्यहं मृगमांसेन व्ययं कुर्याद्दिने दिने ॥ १ ॥
Shiva said: In the land of Magadha, O Goddess, a hunter lived, dear one. Every day he met his spending with deer meat.
Classical view, not medical advice.
एवं सर्वं वयो जातं वृद्धे सति वरानने ॥
So his whole life passed, and he grew old, O fair-faced one. Then he died. The messengers of Yama (the god of death) took him at Yama's order.
निक्षिप्तो नरके घोरे षष्टिवर्षसहस्रकम् ॥
He was thrown into a terrible hell for sixty thousand years. He suffered many kinds of pain, from worms with mouths like needles.
नरकान्निःसृतो देवि मृगत्वं जायते खलु ॥
Coming out of hell, O Goddess, he was born as a deer. Then he was a jackal. Then he was a goat.
