Chapter 39 · A Fisherman Without Mercy
आश्लेषा नक्षत्र चतुर्थ चरण
तेन व्यापारतो देवि धनं च बहु संस्थितम् ॥मांसं प्रभुज्यते नित्यं मांसं हि बहुधा प्रियम् ॥ ४ ॥
By trade, O Goddess, he gathered much wealth. He ate meat every day. He liked meat in many forms.
Classical view, not medical advice.
निर्दयः सर्वजन्तूनां कच्छपानां विशेषतः ॥
He had no mercy for any creature, especially for tortoises. After much time his death came.
यमदूतैर्महाघोरे निक्षिप्तश्च यमाज्ञया ॥
By the order of Yama (the god of death), Yama's messengers threw him into a very terrible hell. He suffered the pains of hell for sixty thousand…
नरकान्निःसृतो देवि दर्दुरत्वं तथा गतः ॥
Coming out of hell, O Goddess, he reached a frog's birth. Then he was a bear. After that he gained a human birth.
