Chapter 66 · A Warrior Who Took Brahmins' Livelihood
विशाखा नक्षत्र तृतीय चरण
॥ शिव उवाच ॥विदर्भनगरे देवि क्षत्री ह्येकोऽवसत्पुरा ॥तेजशर्मेति विख्यातो द्विजानां वृत्तिहारकः ॥ १ ॥
Shiva said: "O Goddess, long ago a kshatriya (warrior class) lived in the city of Vidarbha. He was known as Tejasharma. He took away the brahmins' livelihood."
Classical view, not medical advice.
प्रजानां दुःखदो नित्यं वेदानां चैव निन्दकः ॥
He always hurt the people and blamed the Vedas. Out of fear of him, all the people ran away from the village.
एवं बहुगते काले तस्य मृत्युरभूत्किल ॥
After a long time he died. The fearful messengers of Yama (the god of death) threw him into hell.
द्विसप्ततिसहस्राणि घोरे नरककर्दमे ॥
For 72,000 years he lay in the dreadful mud of hell. He bore the pain of hell that came from the needle-mouthed ones.
