Karma Vipaka Samhita · by Anonymous
Chapter 26 · Ardra 3rd Pada
आर्द्रा नक्षत्र तृतीय चरण
तस्मिन् ग्रामे वसत्येको ब्राह्मणो द्यूततत्परः ॥अन्ये तु बहवस्तत्र वसन्ति सुद्विजोत्तमाः ॥ २ ॥
One brahmin lives in that village. He is devoted to gambling. Many other excellent brahmins live there too.
Classical view, not medical advice.
मद्यपानरतो नित्यं चौरविद्यासु तत्परः ॥
O Goddess, he is always devoted to drinking and to the arts of thieves. He lusts after other men's wives and is always fond of harlots.
प्रत्यहं स च भो देवि द्विजरूपो नराधमः ॥
O Goddess, every day he looks like a brahmin but is the lowest of men. He gets wealth by theft and never gives a gift.
एवं बहुदिने याते तस्य मृत्युर्बभूव ह ॥
Many days passed in this way, and he died. By the order of Yama (the god of death), Yama's messenger threw him into hell.
