Chapter 70 · A Brahmin of Sukarma
अनुराधा नक्षत्र तृतीय चरण
विक्रेता सर्ववस्तूनां गोवाजिकारिणां तथा ॥राजमृत्युं समालोक्य ग्रामदाहस्तथा कृतः ॥ २ ॥
He sold all goods, and cows, horses and elephants too. When he saw that the king had died, he set the village on fire.
Classical view, not medical advice.
ब्राह्मणा बहवस्तत्र ब्राह्मण्यश्च तथा शिवे ॥
Many brahmins and brahmin women died there, O Shiva's wife, in the burning of the village. Many cows also died.
ततो बहुतिथे काले मृतः सोऽपि द्विजाधमः ॥
After a long time that lowest of brahmins died too. Then a messenger of Yama (the god of death) took him to a hell of dreadful mud.
यमाज्ञया च निक्षिप्तः कष्टं भुक्तं मुहुर्मुहुः ॥
He was thrown there at the order of Yama (the god of death). He bore pain again and again. Leaving hell, O Goddess, he took an elephant's birth.
