Chapter 70 · A Brahmin of Sukarma
अनुराधा नक्षत्र तृतीय चरण
यमाज्ञया च निक्षिप्तः कष्टं भुक्तं मुहुर्मुहुः ॥नरकान्निर्गतो देवि गजयोनिं ततोऽलभत् ॥ ५ ॥
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.
Classical view, not medical advice.
कच्छपत्वं ततो यातः काकयोनिस्ततोऽभवत् ॥
Then he became a tortoise, and then a crow. Then he became a man, in a great and fine family.
सर्वसंपत्तिसंयुक्तो वंशस्तस्य न जायते ॥
He has every kind of riches, but no line of descendants is born. He has many daughters, and the man is sick.
भार्या तस्य ज्वरग्रस्ता मासे वर्षे भवेज्ज्वरः ॥
His wife is gripped by fever, and fever comes every month and every year. So I will tell the remedy by which he will be happy.
