Chapter 91 · A Brahmin Who Lived by Theft
श्रवण नक्षत्र चतुर्थ चरण
भुक्तं पूर्वकृतात्पुण्यात्ततः पुण्यक्षये सति ॥मानुषत्वे पुनर्जन्म दुर्लभं सर्वदेहिनाम् ॥ ६ ॥
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.
Classical view, not medical advice.
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.
गृहवित्ताष्टमं भागं पुण्यकार्यं च कारयेत् ॥
Let him have good works done with one eighth of his house and wealth. Let him give a dashavarna (a gift of ten colours), to wash away the past wrong.
