Chapter 44 · A Warrior Who Skipped Atonement
पूर्वाफाल्गुनी नक्षत्र प्रथम चरण
व्यापारार्थं ततो देवि वृषभा बहु पालिताः ॥द्वौ वृषौ योजितौ देवि कूपे वै पतितौ प्रिये ॥ ३ ॥
For trade, O Goddess, he kept many oxen. Two oxen were yoked, dear one, and fell into a well.
Classical view, not medical advice.
मृतौ तौ रात्रिकालेऽपि जगाम स तदा न च ॥
They died in the night, and he did not even go there. In his pride he did not know it was a sin, O lovely one.
यत्किंचित्क्रियते कर्म शुभं तु कलुषं बहु ॥
Whatever deeds he did, the good was little and the stain was great. His good qualities were few and his faults many, this kshatriya (warrior class)…
ततो बहुगते काले मरणं तस्य चाभवत् ॥
After many days he died. His wife, very greedy, died after him, O lovely one.
