Chapter 41 · A Brahmin Lost to Wine and Gambling
मघा नक्षत्र द्वितीय चरण
नामतो मित्रशर्मेति तस्य पत्नी तु कर्कशा ॥प्रत्यहं द्यूतकरणे व्ययं कुर्याद्दिने दिने ॥ ३ ॥
His name was Mitrasharma. His wife was harsh. Every day he spent money on gambling.
Classical view, not medical advice.
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.
भुक्तं दुःखं नरकजं दम्पतिभ्यां तदा शिवे ॥
The couple then suffered the pain of hell, O Parvati. Then, when the sin was spent, O Goddess, he took a dog's birth.
