Chapter 9 · Bharani 2nd Pada
भरणी नक्षत्र द्वितीय चरण
आत्मघातः कृतस्तेन दुर्बलब्राह्मणेन च ॥ततो बहुतिथे काले मरणं तस्य चाभवत् ॥ ६ ॥
The weak brahmin killed himself. After a long time the thief died too.
Classical view, not medical advice.
पातिव्रत्येन तत्पत्न्याः सत्यलोकं जगाम सः ॥
Through his wife's faithfulness he went to Satyaloka (the world of truth). He lived in heaven for many thousands of years, dear one.
ततः पुण्यक्षये जाते मर्त्यलोके स मानुषः ॥
When his merit ran out, he was born a man in the mortal world. Through the fruit of his old sin, O Goddess, he had no sons or daughters.
तदुद्देशेन मरणं ब्राह्मणस्याऽभवत् पुरा ॥
Long ago a brahmin died because of him. He also drank wine. So he is born with kushtha (a skin disease).
