Chapter 91 · A Brahmin Who Lived by Theft
श्रवण नक्षत्र चतुर्थ चरण
तस्य भार्या सती जाता तत्प्रभावाद्गतो द्विजः ॥सत्यलोके वरारोहे सततं विविधं सुखम् ॥ ५ ॥
His wife became a sati (a wife who dies with her husband). By her power the brahmin went to Satyaloka (the world of truth), O lovely one. There he always enjoyed many pleasures.
Classical view, not medical advice.
भुक्तं पूर्वकृतात्पुण्यात्ततः पुण्यक्षये सति ॥
He enjoyed the merit of his past deeds. Then, when the merit was used up, he was born again as a human. This is hard to get for every living being.
धनधान्येन संयुक्तः कन्यापुत्रविवर्जितः ॥
He has wealth and grain, but no daughters or sons. He gave up a brahmin's way and did the work of a shudra (servant class).
परद्रव्यं हृतं देवि तस्माद्व्याधिरजायत ॥
O Goddess, he took other people's goods, and so illness arose in him. I will tell the remedy for what he did in the past birth.
