Chapter 53 · A Barber of Vanga
हस्त नक्षत्र द्वितीय चरण
परस्त्रीलम्पटो देवि नापितस्य च वै सुतः ॥ज्येष्ठपुत्रस्य या भार्या पुंश्चली चातिसुन्दरी ॥ ४ ॥
The barber's son was also, O Goddess, greedy for other men's wives. The wife of the eldest son was loose and very beautiful.
Classical view, not medical advice.
नापितं प्राभजत्सा तु श्वशुरं खङ्गनामकम् ॥
She took the barber Khadga, her husband's father, as her lover. Then, after much time had passed, he died.
तदा पत्नी सती जाता नापितस्य चिताग्निना ॥
Then his wife became a sati (a wife who dies with her husband) in the barber's funeral fire. O Goddess, he reached Satyaloka (the world of truth)…
युगमेकायुतं देवि सत्यलोकेऽवसत्तदा ॥
O Goddess, he lived in Satyaloka for ten thousand yugas (ages). Then his good deeds ran out and he went to a human birth again.
