Karma Vipaka Samhita · by Anonymous
Chapter 53 · A Barber of Vanga
हस्त नक्षत्र द्वितीय चरण
तदा पत्नी सती जाता नापितस्य चिताग्निना ॥सत्यलोकमभूद्देवि भार्य्यया सहितस्य वै ॥ ६ ॥
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) with his wife.
Classical view, not medical advice.
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.
धनधान्यसमायुक्तो ह्यपुत्रश्च सुशोभने ॥
He is rich in money and grain, O lovely one, but has no son. Five daughters are born, and he falls ill.
अस्य शांतिं प्रवक्ष्यामि पूर्वपापक्षयं यतः ॥
I will tell the calming rite, by which the old sin ends. Let him give one eighth of his house and wealth to a brahmin.
