Chapter 33 · Pushya 2nd Pada
पुष्य नक्षत्र द्वितीय चरण
काशीतः पश्चिमे देवि स्वकर्मनिरतः सदा ॥अश्वत्थानां च वृक्षाणां छेदनानि चकार सः ॥ ४ ॥
O Goddess, west of Kashi he was always busy with his own work. He cut down peepal trees.
Classical view, not medical advice.
एवं बहुगते काले शिल्पकारो मृतः प्रिये ॥
After much time, dear one, the craftsman died. He fell into hell for sixty thousand years.
पत्न्या सह वरारोहे यात्तो योनिं विडालकाम् ॥
O fair one, he went with his wife into a cat's birth. After living the cat's life, he then became a lizard.
पुनः स्यान्मानुषो देवि मध्यदेशे सुपूजितः ॥
Then, O Goddess, he became a human again, well honoured in the Middle country. In his past birth he cut trees every day.
