Chapter 71 · A Bard and an Unwelcomed Guest
अनुराधा नक्षत्र चतुर्थ चरण
पञ्च पुत्रा वरारोहे घातितास्तस्य च स्त्रिया ॥मार्जारी च तदा देवि क्षुधार्ता च तदा मृता ॥ ५ ॥
The bard's wife killed her five kittens, O lovely one. And the cat, hungry, died then.
Classical view, not medical advice.
ततो बहुतिथे काले तस्य मृत्युरभूत्पुरा ॥
After a long time he died. His faithful wife became a sati (a wife who dies with her husband) at that moment.
सत्यलोके वरारोहे युगमेकमुवास सः ॥
He lived in Satyaloka (the world of truth) for one age, O lovely one, with his wife. They had happiness as the mind wished.
भुक्तं देवाङ्गनासार्द्धं पुनः पुण्यक्षये सति ॥
He enjoyed it with heavenly women. When his merit ran out, he got a man's birth again with his wife.
