Chapter 80 · A Brahmin of Ayodhya
पूर्वाषाढा नक्षत्र प्रथम चरण
यमाज्ञया वरारोहे षष्टिवर्षसहस्रकम् ॥अन्यत्रापि कृतं पापं प्रयागे च विनश्यति ॥ ९ ॥
By the command of Yama (the god of death), O fair one, it was for sixty thousand years. Sin done elsewhere is destroyed at Prayaga.
Classical view, not medical advice.
प्रयागे यत्कृतं पापं रामपुर्यां विनश्यति ॥
Sin done at Prayaga is destroyed at Ramapuri (Rama's city). Sin done at Ayodhya will stick fast, like hard plaster that never comes off.
नरकान्निःसृतो देवि वकयोनावजायत ॥
He came out of hell, O Goddess, and was born a crane. Then he went to a frog's birth, and then a crow's.
पुनर्मानुषयोन्यां वै धनधान्यसमन्वितः ॥
Then he was born in human birth, with wealth and grain. It was in a very holy country, served by gods and gandharvas (heavenly singers).
