Chapter 27 · Ardra 4th Pada
आर्द्रा नक्षत्र चतुर्थ चरण
तत्रैव चाभवत् पीडा मृत्युलोकसमुद्भवा ॥स्वर्णकारस्य वै द्रव्यं व्यवहारनिमित्तकम् ॥ ५ ॥
There too, a pain of the mortal world came on him. He held a goldsmith's money from a business dealing.
Classical view, not medical advice.
गृहीतं चैव नो दत्तं ततः शृणु वरानने ॥
He took it and did not give it back. Hear on, O fair-faced one. After much time the shudra (servant class) died.
ततोऽसौ नरके घोरे वर्षलक्षद्वयं तथा ॥
Then he lived in a terrible hell for two hundred thousand years. There he suffered pain in many ways from his own deeds.
पुनर्जातो मर्त्यलोके काकश्च महिषो बकः ॥
Born again in the mortal world, he was a crow, a buffalo and a heron. Then, O Goddess, he became human in a great and good family.
