Chapter 47 · A Brahmin Teacher on the Narmada
पूर्वाफाल्गुनी नक्षत्र चतुर्थ चरण
एवं बहुगते काले ब्राह्मणस्य तदा शिवे ॥ततो मृत्युवशं यातस्तस्य भार्या गरीयसी ॥ ४ ॥
Much time passed for the brahmin in this way, O Parvati. Then he fell into the power of death. His dearest wife,
Classical view, not medical advice.
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.
ततः पुण्यक्षये जाते मर्त्यलोकेऽभवत्पुनः ॥
Then his good deeds ran out, and he was born again in the world of mortals. It was a good human birth in a great and honoured family.
