Chapter 41 · A Brahmin Lost to Wine and Gambling
मघा नक्षत्र द्वितीय चरण
द्विजस्तत्र वसत्येको मद्यवेश्यारतः सदा ॥परस्त्रीलम्पटो नित्यं मद्यमांसरतस्तदा ॥ २ ॥
A brahmin lived there, always fond of wine and courtesans. He always chased other men's wives, and loved wine and meat.
Classical view, not medical advice.
नामतो मित्रशर्मेति तस्य पत्नी तु कर्कशा ॥
His name was Mitrasharma. His wife was harsh. Every day he spent money on gambling.
एवं बहुगते काले तस्य मृत्युरभूत्पुरा ॥
After much time, in the past, his death came. Later his harsh wife, a giver of grief, also died.
यमस्य किंकरैरेव निक्षिप्तो नरकार्णवे ॥
The servants of Yama (the god of death) threw him into the ocean of hell. It was for seventy thousand years, O Goddess.
