Chapter 14 · Krittika 3rd Pada
कृत्तिका नक्षत्र तृतीय चरण
प्रतिगृह्य ततो दानं गृहं गत्वा द्विजस्तदा ॥व्ययं करोति स्म तदा भार्यापुत्रेण चैव हि ॥ ५ ॥
The brahmin took the gift, went home, and spent it with his wife and son.
Classical view, not medical advice.
वेदपाठं ततस्त्यक्त्वा प्रत्यहं ससुखं प्रिये ॥
He gave up Veda recitation and lived at ease every day, dear one. He died in old age, lying on a bed in his house.
स्वर्णमध्ये च दानं वै न दत्तं गिरिनन्दिनि ॥
He gave no gift out of the gold, O Parvati. He went to a terrible hell, driven by King Yama (the god of death).
भुङ्क्ते नरकजं दुःखं स्त्रीपुत्रेण च संयुतः ॥
He suffered hell's pain with his wife and son. For one yuga (an age), O fair-hipped one, he was a preta (ghost) and then a crow.
