एकस्मिन्समये तदीयभगिनीपुत्रो गृहे भिक्षुकः
Once his sister's son came to his house at night as a beggar, hungry. The wicked man struck him with a stick. By morning the sister's son was…
यमदूतैर्महादेवि निक्षिप्तो नरकार्णवे ॥
The messengers of Yama (the god of death) threw him into an ocean of hell, O great Goddess. He stayed there eighty-eight thousand years.
भुज्यते विविधं कष्टं नरकं चैव दारुणम् ॥
He suffered many kinds of pain in that terrible hell. Coming out of hell, O Goddess, he was born a cat.
