Chapter 63 · A Shudra Man of Hastinapur
स्वाती नक्षत्र चतुर्थ चरण
तस्य पुत्रद्वयं जातं शठं पापयुतं सदा ॥प्रत्यहं जीवघातेन मद्यवेश्यारतौ च तौ ॥ ३ ॥
He had two sons, cunning and always sinful. Every day they killed living beings. They loved wine and prostitutes.
Classical view, not medical advice.
द्यूतेनैव महादेवि रात्रावह्नि च जक्षतः ॥
They lived by gambling, night and day, O great Goddess. The shudra could not stop these two then, dear one.
ततस्तु दैवयोगेन प्रयागे शूद्र आगतः ॥
Then, by the turn of fate, the shudra came to Prayaga. He stayed there one month and then he died.
विष्णुदासात्तदा लब्ध्वा मृत्युलोके वरानने ॥
Then he got a fine heavenly chariot from Vishnu's servant, O fair-faced one. He rode it from the world of mortals to heaven.
