Chapter 82 · A King Who Took a Brahmin's Land
पूर्वाषाढा नक्षत्र तृतीय चरण
॥ शिव उवाच ॥अन्तर्वेदे विशालाक्षि लोध्रोऽवात्सीत्स पुण्यकृत् ॥गन्धर्वाख्ये पुरे देवि विख्याते यमुनातटे ॥ १ ॥
Shiva said: In Antarvedi, O large-eyed one, there lived a man named Lodhra. He did good deeds. His city was called Gandharva, O Goddess. It was famous on the bank of the Yamuna.
Classical view, not medical advice.
सुभाग्यवान् गुणज्ञो हि बहुभृत्यैः सुपूजितः ॥
He was very lucky and knew good qualities. Many servants honoured him. He was the king of that land, a giver and an enjoyer, and clever.
ब्राह्मणस्य हृता भूमिरज्ञानाद्वै सुरेश्वरि ॥
Through ignorance, O Goddess, he took a brahmin's land. The brahmin ate poison and died on his account, dear one.
ततो बहुगते काले तस्य मृत्युरभूत्पुरा ॥
Much time passed. Then Lodhra died, in that earlier life. The messengers of Yama (the god of death) threw him into Kumbhipaka, a very terrible hell.
