Chapter 11 · Bharani 4th Pada
भरणी नक्षत्र चतुर्थ चरण
योनिं च शूकरीं भुक्त्वा बिडालत्वं पुनः प्रिये ॥ततो बिडालयोनिं च भुक्त्वा गृध्रस्ततोऽभवत् ॥ ९ ॥
After the pig birth, dear one, he became a cat. After the cat birth, he became a vulture.
Classical view, not medical advice.
पुनः कर्मवशाद्देवि मानुषत्वं ततोऽभवत् ॥
Again by his deeds, O Goddess, he became human. In this world, O fair-hipped one, through the power of past deeds,
मृतवत्सा भवेन्नारी पुत्रश्चैव न जीवति ॥
the woman becomes a mritavatsa (one whose children die young), and the son does not live. He has many diseases, O Goddess, and is racked by fever.
पूर्वजन्मकृतं पापमिह जन्मनि भुज्यते ॥
The sin done in a past birth is suffered in this birth. The deed done in this world is suffered birth after birth.
