Chapter 40 · A Trader Who Used a Friend's Wealth
मघा नक्षत्र प्रथम चरण
मृत्युलोके भवेज्जन्म धनधान्यसमन्वितः ॥विष्णुपूजारतो नित्यं ब्राह्मणे भक्तिरुत्तमा ॥ ११ ॥
he was born in the mortal world, rich in wealth and grain. He was always devoted to the worship of Vishnu and had the best devotion to brahmins.
Classical view, not medical advice.
मित्रद्रव्यं स्वयं दत्तं भुक्तं तेन ततः प्रिये ॥
He himself used up his friend's wealth, the gift he had given. So, dear one, a son is born first, and that son dies.
पुनः पुत्रो न जायेत काकवन्ध्या ततः प्रिया ॥
After that no son is born. His dear wife becomes a kakavandhya (a woman who has only one child). Many kinds of disease of phlegm, wind and the like…
वृद्धत्वं च तथा तस्य जायते नात्र संशयः ॥
Old age too comes to him, no doubt. To calm that sin, fair-faced one, hear the merit-work.
