Karma Vipaka Samhita · by Anonymous
Chapter 20 · Mrigashira 1st Pada
मृगशिरा नक्षत्र प्रथम चरण
एवं बहुगते काले मरणं ब्राह्मणस्य वै ॥सूर्यलोकोऽभवद्देवि यतः सूर्यस्य सेवकः ॥६॥
Much time passed, and the brahmin died. O Goddess, he went to the world of the Sun, because he served the Sun god.
Classical view, not medical advice.
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.
पुत्रकन्याविहीनस्तु धनधान्यसमन्वितः ॥
He has no son or daughter, but he has money and grain. He took the blacksmith's gold and never gave it back.
तेन कर्मविपाकेन लोहकारः सुतोऽभवत् ॥
By the ripening of that deed, the blacksmith was born as his son. He is loved by all, and he pleases his father and mother.
