Chapter 51 · A Brahmin of Gaya Who Fell from Duty
उत्तराफाल्गुनी नक्षत्र चतुर्थ चरण
चाणूरस्य कुले जन्म ततः प्रेतोऽगमत्पुरा ॥बिडालत्वं ततो यातः फल्गुतीर्थे मृतः स वै ॥ ४ ॥
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.
Classical view, not medical advice.
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.
केशवस्याऽर्चनं चादौ साधूनां सेवनं सदा ॥
First, worship of Keshava (Vishnu). Always serve good people. Hold firm devotion to brahmins, and to giving and feeding.
