Karma Vipaka Samhita · by Anonymous
Chapter 36 · Ashlesha 1st Pada
आश्लेषा नक्षत्र प्रथम चरण
निक्षिप्य यमदूतेन तत्रैव च यमाज्ञया ॥पञ्चलक्षं ततो वर्षं कष्टं दत्तं मुहुर्मुहुः ॥११॥
By the order of Yama (the god of death), Yama's messenger threw him down there. For five lakh years (a lakh is 100,000) he was given pain again and again.
Classical view, not medical advice.
तत्र जाता महापीडा नरकान्निःसृतस्ततः ॥
Great pain arose there. Then he came out of hell. He went into a snake's birth, and after that he became a vulture.
मानुषत्वं ततो लब्धं मध्यदेशे वरानने ॥
Then he gained a human birth in the Middle country, fair one. Because of the old sin, O Goddess, no son is born.
शरीरे रोग उत्पन्नो विग्रहस्तु वरानने ॥
Illness arose in his body, and quarrels. I will tell the prayashchitta (remedy for a past wrong), to calm the old sin.
