आश्लेषा नक्षत्र द्वितीय चरण
दुर्लभ इति विख्यातो तत्राज्ञानी सदावसत् ॥एकदा तस्य गोवृन्दे वने तिष्ठति भोऽनघे ॥ ३ ॥
He was known as Durlabha and was always ignorant. Once his herd of cows was standing in the forest, O sinless one.
Classical view, not medical advice.
वृष्टिस्तत्र महाजाता गावश्च पीडिता भृशम् ॥
A great rain fell there, and the cows suffered badly. Many of them died from the rain.
रक्षां शूद्रो नाऽकरोत्स तृणैराच्छादनादिभिः ॥
The shudra (servant class) did not protect them with grass covers and the like. After much time the sinful shudra died.
नरके पातयामास यमदूतो यमाज्ञया ॥
By the order of Yama (the god of death), a messenger of Yama threw him into hell. He suffered the fruit of hell for many thousand years.
