Chapter 20 · Mrigashira 1st Pada
मृगशिरा नक्षत्र प्रथम चरण
विंशद्वर्षसहस्राणि सूर्यलोकेऽवसत्प्रिये ॥ततः पुण्यक्षये जाते मर्त्यलोके च मानवः ॥ ७ ॥
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.
Classical view, not medical advice.
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.
युवरूपसमापन्नस्तदा मृत्युर्भवेदनु ॥
When he reaches young manhood, death comes to him. Again there is no son, and a daughter is born.
