Chapter 75 · A Weaver and a Sparrow's Nest
ज्येष्ठा नक्षत्र चतुर्थ चरण
सप्ततिर्वै सहस्राणि स्वयं भुक्त्वा फलं बहु ॥पुनः पुण्यक्षये जाते स्वर्गभ्रष्टो यदाभवत् ॥ १० ॥
He enjoyed much fruit there himself for seventy thousand years. Then his merit ran out, and he fell from heaven. (Our text is unclear here: the number looks like seventy thousand, but the print is hard to read.)
Classical view, not medical advice.
मनुष्यश्चाऽभवद्देवि गङ्गागण्डकिमध्ययोः ॥
He became a man between the Ganga and the Gandaki, O Goddess. He had wealth and grain. When he married,
पूर्वजन्मस्थिता भार्या सा तस्य गृहमेधिनी ॥
his wife from the past birth became his housewife. She had servants, but she lost her baby again and again.
कन्यका नैव जायंते पुत्रस्यैव तु का कथा ॥
No daughters were born to her, let alone a son. The woman always had fever in her body.
