Chapter 31 · Punarvasu 4th Pada
पुनर्वसु नक्षत्र चतुर्थ चरण
एकदा चन्द्रग्रहणे शतस्वर्णयुतं वृषम् ॥अदाद्विप्राय विदुषे भार्यया सह भक्तितः ॥ ४ ॥
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.
Classical view, not medical advice.
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.
पुनः काको वरारोहे ततो भवति मानुषः ॥
Then a crow, O fair one. Then he becomes human. He knows good qualities, is devoted to the gods, and is keen on the pleasures of prostitutes.
