Chapter 56 · A Warrior of Gaya and the Buffalo Calves
चित्रा नक्षत्र प्रथम चरण
यमदूतैर्महाघोरे निक्षिप्तो नरकार्णवे ॥त्रिसप्ततिसहस्राणि वर्षाणि च वरानने ॥ ५ ॥
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.
Classical view, not medical advice.
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.
महिषीपुत्रघातेन रोगोत्पत्तिश्च जायते ॥
Illness arises from killing the young of buffaloes. Listen, O fair-faced one, to the merit that ends this sin.
