Chapter 87 · A Scholar Who Ate the Wrong Food
उत्तराषाढा नक्षत्र चतुर्थ चरण
मरणं तस्य वै जातं शंकेश्वरपुरे यदा ॥यमाज्ञया तदा देवि यमदूतैरितस्ततः ॥५॥
His death came in Shankeshvarapura. By the order of Yama (the god of death), O Goddess, the messengers took him here and there.
Classical view, not medical advice.
नरके पतितं पश्चान्मर्त्यलोके ततोऽगमत् ॥
He fell into hell, and afterwards went to the world of mortals. He became a rooster, a crow, and then a pigeon.
मानुषत्वं पुनर्लेभे शुभे देवि कुले महत् ॥
He got a human birth again, in a great and good family. He is a scholar, very learned, expert in the duties of his caste.
पूर्वजन्मनि देवेशि म्लेच्छान्नं भोजनं कृतम् ॥
In the earlier birth, O Goddess, he ate the food of a mleccha (outsider). For that wrong, neither son nor daughter is born.
