Chapter 55 · A Clerk Who Scolded a Brahmin
हस्त नक्षत्र चतुर्थ चरण
ततो बहुगते काले मरणं तस्य चाभवत् ॥तस्य पत्नी सती जाता तद्दिने च वरानने ॥ ५ ॥
Then, after a long time, Kavala died. On that same day his wife became a sati (a wife who dies with her husband), O fair-faced one.
Classical view, not medical advice.
बहून्यब्दसहस्राणि सत्यलोकेऽवसत्तदा ॥
Then for many thousands of years he lived in Satyaloka (the world of truth). He enjoyed many kinds of joy there, O fair-faced one.
ततः पुण्यक्षये जाते मानुषत्वं पुनर्गतः ॥
Then, when his merit ran out, he came back to human birth. He is born in a brahmin family, rich in money and grain.
जाताश्च बहवः पुत्रा गौराङ्गप्रियदर्शनाः ॥
Many sons are born, fair-limbed and pleasing to see. They are gifted and good-looking. They bring much joy, yet they die.
