Chapter 85 · A Brahmin and His Nephew's Jewels
उत्तराषाढा नक्षत्र द्वितीय चरण
कृत्वा शिरच्छेदनं च सुप्तं निशि ममार तम् ॥तत्सर्वं भूमिमध्ये तु स्थापितं रत्नसंचयम् ॥ ६ ॥
cut off the head of the sleeping man, and killed him. He buried all that heap of jewels in the ground.
Classical view, not medical advice.
भ्रातृजस्य धनं गृह्य व्ययं कृत्वा दिने दिने ॥
He took his brother's son's wealth and spent it day by day. After many days the brahmin died first.
पश्चात्पत्नी मृता तस्य तौ गतौ नरकार्णवे ॥
Later his wife died. The two of them went to the ocean of hell. They were tormented with great pain for sixty thousand years.
नरकान्निःसृतौ द्वौ तु गजयोनी बभूवतुः ॥
Coming out of hell, the two were born as elephants. Then they were born as tortoises, and then as monitor lizards.
