Chapter 87 · A Scholar Who Ate the Wrong Food
उत्तराषाढा नक्षत्र चतुर्थ चरण
नरके पतितं पश्चान्मर्त्यलोके ततोऽगमत् ॥कुक्कुटत्वं विशालाक्षि काकं पारावतं ततः ॥ ६ ॥
He fell into hell, and afterwards went to the world of mortals. He became a rooster, a crow, and then a pigeon.
Classical view, not medical advice.
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.
प्रेतान्नं भोजनं कृत्वा संस्कारो न कृतः पुरा ॥
He ate food meant for a preta (ghost), before the funeral rite was done. For that wrong, O Goddess, illness arises in the body.
