Chapter 31 · Punarvasu 4th Pada
पुनर्वसु नक्षत्र चतुर्थ चरण
मत्स्यमांसस्य भो देवि विक्रयं चाकरोत् खलु ॥संचितं बहुरत्नं च न दानं बहुधाकरोत् ॥ ३ ॥
He sold fish and meat, O Goddess. He stored up many jewels and did not give much in gifts.
Classical view, not medical advice.
एकदा चन्द्रग्रहणे शतस्वर्णयुतं वृषम् ॥
Once, at an eclipse of the Moon, he gave a bull with a hundred gold coins to a learned brahmin. His wife was with him, and he gave with devotion.
ततो मृत्युवशं यातो भार्या तस्य मृता पुरा ॥
Then he fell under the power of death. His wife had died earlier. The very terrible messengers of Yama (the god of death) threw him into hell.
यमाज्ञया महादेवि षष्टिवर्षसहस्रकम् ॥
By the order of Yama (the god of death), O Goddess, he stayed sixty thousand years. Coming out of hell, he became a jackal in a deep forest.
