Chapter 69 · A Carpenter Who Kept an Ascetic's Money
अनुराधा नक्षत्र द्वितीय चरण
द्वे दत्त्वा कपिले गावौ स्वर्णरौप्यविभूषिते ॥पुत्रेणापि कृतं श्राद्धं शास्त्ररीत्या गयादिकम् ॥ ४ ॥
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 places, by the rule.
Classical view, not medical advice.
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.
पूर्वजन्मनि भो देवि काष्ठच्छेदः कृतः सदा ॥
In his past life, O Goddess, he cut wood all the time. For that wrong he has great pain in the body.
