Chapter 73 · A Blacksmith of Pattana
ज्येष्ठा नक्षत्र द्वितीय चरण
ततो बहुगते काले लोहकारस्य वै शिवे ॥व्याघ्रेण मरणं जातं यमदूतैर्यमाज्ञया ॥ ६ ॥
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.
Classical view, not medical advice.
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.
मानुषत्वं ततो देवि धनधान्यसमाकुलः ॥
Then he was a man again, rich in wealth and grain. He was brave, wise, learned and dear to the king.
