Chapter 69 · A Carpenter Who Kept an Ascetic's Money
अनुराधा नक्षत्र द्वितीय चरण
यक्षलोकं तदा यातो वर्षं शतसहस्रकम् ॥पुनः पुण्यक्षये जाते कपियोनिं ततोऽलभत् ॥ ५ ॥
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.
Classical view, not medical advice.
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.
यतिद्रव्यं गृहीतं च न दत्तं यतिने यतः ॥
He took the ascetic's money and did not give it back. For that reason a son was born to him, through the tie of debt.
