Chapter 49 · A Goldsmith and the Brahmin's Garland
उत्तराफाल्गुनी नक्षत्र द्वितीय चरण
नरकान्निर्गतो देवि व्याघ्रयोनिस्ततोऽभवत् ॥व्याघ्रयोनिं ततो भुक्त्वा शृगालत्वं ततोऽभवत् ॥ ७ ॥
Coming out of hell, O Goddess, he was born a tiger. After living as a tiger, he became a jackal.
Classical view, not medical advice.
ततः काकस्य वै योनिं भुक्त्वा नरकमाप्नुयात् ॥
After living as a crow, he went to hell. Then, O queen of the gods, he got a human birth in a most holy land.
पूर्वजन्मनि यत्स्वर्णं ब्राह्मणस्य हृतं प्रिये ॥
In the past birth he took the brahmin's gold, dear one. By that sin, O Goddess, no son is born to him.
गर्भस्रावो भवेन्नार्य्याः काकवन्ध्या च जायते ॥
His wife loses her unborn babies and becomes a kakavandhya (a woman who has only one child). Hear the calming rite for this sin, O lovely Goddess.
