Karma Vipaka Samhita · by Anonymous
Chapter 13 · Krittika 2nd Pada
कृत्तिका नक्षत्र द्वितीय चरण
गृहीतं तस्य वै दानं शय्यां चैव गजादिकम् ॥सर्वं गृह्य गृहं गत्वा भुक्तं बहुदिनं प्रिये ॥ ९ ॥
He took his gifts: a bed, elephants and the like. Taking it all home, he lived on it for many days, dear one.
Classical view, not medical advice.
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.
मनुष्यत्वं ततः प्राप्तः पूर्वकर्मविपाकतः ॥
Then he got a human birth through the ripening of past deeds. No son is born, O Goddess. Daughters of many kinds are born.
