Chapter 59 · A Brahmin of Pratishthana
चित्रा नक्षत्र चतुर्थ चरण
तस्य विप्रस्य वै स्वर्गः कल्पमेकं वरानने ॥भुक्त्वा च विविधं सौख्यं देवकन्याभिरावृतः ॥ ५ ॥
That brahmin had heaven for one kalpa (a very long age), O fair-faced one. He enjoyed many joys, surrounded by heavenly maidens.
Classical view, not medical advice.
ततः पुण्यक्षये जाते मृत्युलोके सुरेश्वरि ॥ ६ ॥
Then, when his merit ran out, he came to the world of mortals, O Goddess of the gods.
जन्माऽभवत्तस्य नरस्य शुद्धे महत्कुले पुण्ययुते
That man was born in a pure, great family with merit and wealth. His wife was the same woman as before, with a mind for adultery.
मद्यपानादिकं पापं पूर्वजन्मनि यत्कृतम् ॥
The sin of wine and the like, done in his past life, bore fruit, O great Goddess. So he became ill.
