Chapter 56 · A Warrior of Gaya and the Buffalo Calves
चित्रा नक्षत्र प्रथम चरण
अनेनैव प्रकारेण वयः सर्वं क्षयं गतम् ॥ततः सर्पेण वै दष्टस्तस्य मृत्युरभूत्तदा ॥ ४ ॥
In this way his whole life was spent. Then a snake bit him and he died.
Classical view, not medical advice.
यमदूतैर्महाघोरे निक्षिप्तो नरकार्णवे ॥
The messengers of Yama (the god of death) threw him into the dreadful ocean of hell. He stayed there seventy-three thousand years, O fair-faced one.
भुक्त्वा कष्टं विशालाक्षि गर्भत्वं च ततो गतः ॥
After suffering that pain, O wide-eyed one, he went into a womb. He was born as a man in the Middle Country, a kshatriya (warrior class).
पुत्रो न जायते देवि पूर्वपापानुसारतः ॥
No son is born, O Goddess, because of his old sin. The daughter reaches her age and becomes a widow, dear one.
