Chapter 65 · A Brahmin of Vishnu-Kanchi
विशाखा नक्षत्र द्वितीय चरण
एवं वयो गते देवि वृद्धे जाते वरानने ॥मरणं तस्य वै जातं ब्राह्मणस्य वरानने ॥ ४ ॥
So his years passed, O Goddess, and he grew old. Then the brahmin died, O lovely one.
Classical view, not medical advice.
यमदूतैर्महाघोरे नरके पातितस्तदा ॥
The messengers of Yama (the god of death) threw him into a very fearful hell. It was Raurava, for 60,000 years.
भुक्त्वा नरककष्टं च पुनर्जातः सरीसृपः ॥
After he bore the pain of hell, he was born a reptile. Then he was born a man, with many kinds of trouble.
पुत्रस्य मरणं कान्ते प्रतिवर्षं महाव्यथा ॥
O beloved, each year a son dies and brings great pain. The wife becomes a kakavandhya (a woman who has only one child), because of the past birth.
