Chapter 69 · A Carpenter Who Kept an Ascetic's Money
अनुराधा नक्षत्र द्वितीय चरण
व्ययं कृत्वा तदा तेन न दत्तं यतिने शिवे ॥ततस्तस्य ह्यभून्मृत्युः काष्ठकारस्य मागधे ॥ ३ ॥
He spent it and did not give it back to the ascetic, O Shiva's wife. Then the carpenter of Magadha died.
Classical view, not medical advice.
द्वे दत्त्वा कपिले गावौ स्वर्णरौप्यविभूषिते ॥
Two tawny cows adorned with gold and silver were given. His son also did the shraddha (rite for the dead ancestors). He did it at Gaya and other…
यक्षलोकं तदा यातो वर्षं शतसहस्रकम् ॥
He went to the world of the Yakshas (nature spirits) for a hundred thousand years. When his merit ran out, he got a monkey's birth.
ऋक्षस्यैव पुनर्योनिं मानुषत्वं ततोऽगमत् ॥
Then he was born a bear. Then he became a man, rich in wealth and grain, wise in qualities and very handsome.
