Chapter 51 · A Brahmin of Gaya Who Fell from Duty
उत्तराफाल्गुनी नक्षत्र चतुर्थ चरण
यमदूता महाघोरे कटाहनरकेऽक्षिपन् ॥लक्षत्रयमितं देवि भुक्तं नरकजं फलम् ॥ ३ ॥
The messengers of Yama (the god of death) threw him into the terrible hell of the cauldron. He suffered the fruit of hell for three hundred thousand years.
Classical view, not medical advice.
चाणूरस्य कुले जन्म ततः प्रेतोऽगमत्पुरा ॥
Then he was born in the family of Chanura. After that he became a preta (ghost). Then he became a cat, and he died at the holy Phalgu river.
पुनर्मानुषयोनित्वं मध्यदेशे सुरेश्वरि ॥
Again he got a human birth in the middle country, O queen of the gods. His wife has only daughters. He always has fever in the body.
चिन्तोद्विग्नः सदा देवि बहुदुःखेन पीडितः ॥
He is always worried and troubled, O Goddess, and pressed by much pain. First hear the calming rite, by which the sin comes to an end.
