Chapter 63 · A Shudra Man of Hastinapur
स्वाती नक्षत्र चतुर्थ चरण
द्यूतेनैव महादेवि रात्रावह्नि च जक्षतः ॥न च वारयितुं शक्यौ शूद्रेणैतौ तदा शिवे ॥ ४ ॥
They lived by gambling, night and day, O great Goddess. The shudra could not stop these two then, dear one.
Classical view, not medical advice.
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.
तस्य भार्या विशालाक्षि मर्त्यलोके सुरेश्वरी ॥
His wife, O wide-eyed queen of the gods, stayed in the world of mortals. After a little time she became a widow.
