Chapter 35 · Pushya 4th Pada
पुष्य नक्षत्र चतुर्थ चरण
गुरुसेवारतो नित्यं प्रत्यहं शाकविक्रयी ॥एका मार्जारिका श्वेता पालिता तेन वै हता ॥ ३ ॥
He always served his teacher. Every day he sold vegetables. He kept one white cat, and it was killed by him.
Classical view, not medical advice.
प्राप्तो वै तमसातीरे तीर्थे मृत्युर्मम प्रिये ॥
He met his death at a holy place on the bank of the Tamasa river, dear one. This was because he was devoted to Vishnu, and also by the fruit of…
न गतो यमलोकं तु भुक्त्वा स्वर्गे तु चाऽभवत् ॥
So he did not go to the world of Yama (the god of death). He enjoyed heaven for sixty thousand years. Then his merit ran out again.
तदा वृषभयोनिश्च मर्त्यलोकेऽभवत्पुनः ॥
Then he was born again in the mortal world, first as a bull. After that he reached a human birth, rich in wealth and grain.
