Chapter 47 · A Brahmin Teacher on the Narmada
पूर्वाफाल्गुनी नक्षत्र चतुर्थ चरण
तस्य भार्याद्वयं चासीदेका प्रीतिमती सदा ॥विरोधिनी ततो ह्येका ज्येष्ठा भार्या तु तां त्यजेत् ॥ ३ ॥
He had two wives. One was always loving. The other was hostile. That was the elder wife, and he left her.
Classical view, not medical advice.
एवं बहुगते काले ब्राह्मणस्य तदा शिवे ॥
Much time passed for the brahmin in this way, O Parvati. Then he fell into the power of death. His dearest wife,
चितां कृत्वा प्रयत्नेन भर्तुः खलु वरानने ॥
with care, built the funeral fire for her husband, O lovely one. O Goddess, the wise woman became a sati (a wife who dies with her husband) with him.
सत्यलोकस्त्वभूत्तस्य जायया सहितस्य वै ॥
He and his wife reached Satyaloka (the world of truth). He lived there for many thousands of years.
