Karma Vipaka Samhita · by Anonymous
Chapter 25 · Ardra 2nd Pada
आर्द्रा नक्षत्र द्वितीय चरण
भुक्तं बहुविधं देवि भार्यया सहितेन वै ॥ततः पुण्यक्षये जाते पुनर्मर्त्यो बभूव तु ॥ ६ ॥
O Goddess, the husband enjoyed many kinds of joy together with his wife. When their merit ran out, he became a mortal again.
Classical view, not medical advice.
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.
ऋणसम्बन्धतो देवि विप्रः पुत्रोऽभवत्तदा ॥
O Goddess, by the link of debt a brahmin became his son then. He took as much as he had taken in the past life.
तावन्मात्रं गृहीत्वा तु ततो वै मरणं भवेत् ॥
Having taken just that much, he dies. Twenty years pass, and again that man has no son.
