Chapter 44 · A Warrior Who Skipped Atonement
पूर्वाफाल्गुनी नक्षत्र प्रथम चरण
ततो बहुगते काले मरणं तस्य चाभवत् ॥पश्चान्मृता तस्य पत्नी महालुब्धा वरानने ॥ ६ ॥
After many days he died. His wife, very greedy, died after him, O lovely one.
Classical view, not medical advice.
निक्षिप्तो नरके घोरे यमदूतैर्यमाज्ञया ॥
The messengers of Yama (the god of death) threw him into a terrible hell by Yama's order. He suffered the pain of hell for sixty thousand years.
पुनः सरटयोनिश्च वृषयोनिस्ततोऽभवत् ॥
Then he was born as a lizard, and then as an ox. Then, O Goddess, he became a man in the middle country.
वृषयोश्च पुरा मृत्युर्न कृतं पापमोचनम् ॥
The two oxen died before. No atonement was made for that sin. So disease came to him from his past deed.
