Chapter 13 · Krittika 2nd Pada
कृत्तिका नक्षत्र द्वितीय चरण
मरणे तस्य वै याते तद्विप्रस्य निमन्त्रणम् ॥भुक्तं तेन तदा देवि क्षत्रियस्य क्रियासु च ॥ ८ ॥
a ruler of men, died. That brahmin was invited. He ate then, O Goddess, at the death rites of the warrior.
Classical view, not medical advice.
गृहीतं तस्य वै दानं शय्यां चैव गजादिकम् ॥
He took his gifts: a bed, elephants and the like. Taking it all home, he lived on it for many days, dear one.
ततो बहुगते काले तस्य विप्रस्य पञ्चता ॥
After much time had passed, that brahmin died. He went to the world of Yama (the god of death), to a very terrible hell.
भुक्तं स्वकर्मजं दुःखं युगमेकं वरानने ॥
He suffered the pain of his own deeds for one yuga (an age), O fair-faced one. Then he lived as an elephant, a tiger and a worm, one after another.
