Chapter 87 · A Scholar Who Ate the Wrong Food
उत्तराषाढा नक्षत्र चतुर्थ चरण
मानुषत्वं पुनर्लेभे शुभे देवि कुले महत् ॥स पण्डितो महाविद्वान् ज्ञातिधर्मविचक्षणः ॥ ७ ॥
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.
Classical view, not medical advice.
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.
अस्य शान्तिं शृणुष्वादौ पूर्वपापप्रणाशिनीम् ॥
First hear the remedy that destroys the earlier wrong. Set aside an eighth part of house and wealth for a brahmin.
