Karma Vipaka Samhita · by Anonymous
Chapter 35 · Pushya 4th Pada
पुष्य नक्षत्र चतुर्थ चरण
प्राप्तो वै तमसातीरे तीर्थे मृत्युर्मम प्रिये ॥विष्णुभक्तिरतो यस्मात्तीर्थे मृत्युफलादपि ॥ ४ ॥
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 dying at a holy place.
Classical view, not medical advice.
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.
सुन्दरो विष्णुभक्तित्वात्पुत्रेण रहितः शिवे ॥
He is handsome and devoted to Vishnu, but without a son, dear one. Miscarriages came, because the cat was killed.
