Classical view, not medical advice.
गङ्गायां च विशालाक्षि पत्नी तस्य तथा मृता ॥
His wife died in the Ganga, O wide-eyed one. The merchant went to heaven for sixty thousand years.
वैश्यपत्नी ततो देवि कर्दमे नरके गता ॥
Then the merchant's wife went to the hell of mud, O Goddess. She suffered the pains of hell for sixty thousand years.
नरकान्निःसृता सा तु सर्पयोनिं तथा गता ॥
She came out of hell and went into a snake's birth. After the snake's life she died in the Ganga.
