Chapter 73 · A Blacksmith of Pattana
ज्येष्ठा नक्षत्र द्वितीय चरण
त्यक्ता चैव महादेवि गोपालस्य तु कन्यका ॥भार्या कृता पुनस्तेन पत्न्यास्त्यागश्च वै कृतः ॥५॥
He made a cowherd's daughter his wife, O Great Goddess. So he abandoned his wife.
Classical view, not medical advice.
ततो बहुगते काले लोहकारस्य वै शिवे ॥
After a long time, O Shiva's wife, the blacksmith was killed by a tiger. The messengers of Yama (the god of death) took him at Yama's order.
निक्षिप्तो नरके घोरे कृमिविष्ठादिसंयुतः ॥
He was thrown into a dreadful hell full of worms and filth. He bore the torment of hell for 30,000 years.
नरकान्निर्गतो देवि मानुषत्वं ततोऽलभत् ॥
Leaving hell, O Goddess, he was born a man. Then he took the birth of a snake, and then became a mongoose.
