ततो बहुगते काले स्वर्णकारस्य वै शिवे ॥
Then, after much time had passed, O Parvati, the goldsmith died. He had sons and a wife.
महाकटाहनरके दूतैः क्षिप्तो यमाज्ञया ॥
By the order of Yama (the god of death), his messengers threw him into the hell of the great cauldron. He suffered the fruit of hell for one yuga…
नरकान्निर्गतो देवि व्याघ्रयोनिस्ततोऽभवत् ॥
Coming out of hell, O Goddess, he was born a tiger. After living as a tiger, he became a jackal.
