Chapter 79 · A Salt-Maker and His Wife
मूल नक्षत्र चतुर्थ चरण
यमदूतैर्महाघोरैर्नरके घोरसंज्ञके ॥पातितस्तत्र देवेशि द्वाविंशतिसहस्रकम् ॥ ८ ॥
Very dreadful messengers of Yama (the god of death) threw him into the hell named Ghora, O Goddess. It was for twenty-two thousand years.
Classical view, not medical advice.
वर्षं सुभुज्यते देवि कृमिसूचिमुखैर्युतम् ॥
He suffered it there, O Goddess, for years, with worms that had needle-sharp mouths. He came out of hell and was born a tiger.
पुनश्छागस्य वै योनिं बिडालस्य ततोऽगमत् ॥
Then he went to a goat's birth, and then a cat's. Then he got human birth in a very holy and good country.
स्वकर्मवशगो नित्यं धनधान्यसमन्वितः ॥
Following his own deeds, he always has wealth and grain. He knows all learning, but he has neither daughters nor sons.
