कृत्तिका नक्षत्र प्रथम चरण
याति चाखेटकं नित्यं मृगीं हत्वा च गार्भिणीम् ॥प्रत्यहं मृगमांसेन पोषयेत्स्वतनुं तथा ॥ ४ ॥
He went hunting every day. He killed even a pregnant doe. Each day he fed his body on deer meat.
Classical view, not medical advice.
शरीरे वृद्धता जाता दया तस्य न चाभवत् ॥
Old age came to his body. He had no mercy. Then at his death, O Goddess, his wife became a sati (a wife who dies with her husband).
सत्यलोकं गतस्तेन भार्यायाः सुकृतेन तु ॥
He went to Satyaloka (the world of truth) through his wife's good deeds. He enjoyed merit for a kalpa (a very long age) in Satyaloka, O fair-faced…
पुनः पुण्यक्षये जाते मानुषत्वमुपागतः ॥
When his merit ran out, he got a human birth again, with his wife. It was in a great and honoured family, O Goddess.
