मृगशिरा नक्षत्र द्वितीय चरण
परान्नं भुज्यते नित्यं परप्रेष्यरतः सदा ॥तस्य पत्नी समाख्याता बाधमा नाम वै पुरा ॥ २ ॥
He always ate other people's food and always loved serving others. His wife was known by the name Badhama.
Classical view, not medical advice.
जन्मतो मरणं यावत् परान्नं भुज्यते च वै ॥
From birth to death he ate other people's food. Because of taking gifts, both of them fell into hell.
बहुवर्षसहस्राणि प्रवासो नरकेऽभवत् ॥
He lived in hell for many thousands of years. O Goddess, coming out of hell, he became a crow and a deer.
पुनर्वै मेषयोनिश्च पूर्वकर्मविपाकतः ॥
Then, by the ripening of his past deeds, he was born a sheep. Then he became human in the Middle Country, O lovely one.
