Chapter 66 · A Warrior Who Took Brahmins' Livelihood
विशाखा नक्षत्र तृतीय चरण
प्रजानां दुःखदो नित्यं वेदानां चैव निन्दकः ॥तस्य त्रासवशात्सर्वा प्रजा ग्रामात्पलायिता ॥ २ ॥
He always hurt the people and blamed the Vedas. Out of fear of him, all the people ran away from the village.
Classical view, not medical advice.
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.
नरकान्निर्गतो देवि गर्दभत्वं ततोऽगमत् ॥
Leaving hell, O Goddess, he became a donkey. From a donkey he became a man.
