She always scolded her husband with harsh words. He saved much wealth and never gave a gift.
Classical view, not medical advice.
एकस्मिन् दिवसे देवि चन्द्रपर्वणि शोभने ॥
One day, O Goddess, on a fine holy day of the moon, he gave ten cows as a gift. He did it at the holy place.
ततो बहुगते काले तस्य मृत्युरभूत्किल ॥
After a long time he died. The messenger of Yama (the god of death) threw him into hell.
त्रिंशद्वर्षसहस्राणि भुक्त्वा नरकयातनाम् ॥
After suffering the pains of hell for thirty thousand years, O fair-faced one, he was born a buffalo.
