Chapter 20 · Mrigashira 1st Pada
मृगशिरा नक्षत्र प्रथम चरण
प्रत्यहं पाठयेद्वेदं जीविकार्थं वरानने ॥लोहकारस्य मरणं तत्पुरेऽभूद्वरानने ॥ ४ ॥
O lovely one, he taught the Veda each day for his living. A blacksmith died in that city.
Classical view, not medical advice.
न दत्तं तस्य वै स्वर्णं लोहकारस्य संस्थितम् ॥
He did not give back the gold the blacksmith had left with him. O Goddess, he lived off that gold every day with his wife.
एवं बहुगते काले मरणं ब्राह्मणस्य वै ॥
Much time passed, and the brahmin died. O Goddess, he went to the world of the Sun, because he served the Sun god.
विंशद्वर्षसहस्राणि सूर्यलोकेऽवसत्प्रिये ॥
Dear one, he lived in the world of the Sun for twenty thousand years. Then his merit ran out, and he became a human in the world of mortals.
