Karma Vipaka Samhita · by Anonymous
Chapter 25 · Ardra 2nd Pada
आर्द्रा नक्षत्र द्वितीय चरण
पलविंशप्रमाणं तद्व्ययं जातं वरानने ॥ततो वैश्यस्य मृत्युर्वै भार्यया सहितस्य वै ॥ ४ ॥
It was twenty pala (a unit of weight), O lovely one, and it was spent. Then the merchant died, together with his wife.
Classical view, not medical advice.
स्वर्गं जातं ततो देवि नर्मदामरणादपि ॥
Then, O Goddess, they went to heaven, also because of dying in the Narmada. For sixty thousand years they had the good fruit of heaven.
भुक्तं बहुविधं देवि भार्यया सहितेन वै ॥
O Goddess, the husband enjoyed many kinds of joy together with his wife. When their merit ran out, he became a mortal again.
धनधान्यसमायुक्तौ पुत्रकन्याविवर्जितौ ॥
The two are rich in money and grain, but they have no sons or daughters. They are sick and weak in body, from the fruit of their past deeds.
