धनिष्ठा नक्षत्र प्रथम चरण
एकस्मिन्समये तदीयभगिनीपुत्रो गृहे भिक्षुकःप्राप्तस्तस्य बुभुक्षितो निशि तदा यष्ट्याहनत्तंखलः ॥ प्रातः कालकरालदन्तदलनं पुत्रः स्वसु-स्तस्य तत्पापात्सत्वरमाजगाम मरणं दुष्टः स्वयंचान्धधीः ॥ ३ ॥
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 crushed by the fierce teeth of Death. Because of that sin, the wicked, blind-minded man soon came to his own death.
Classical view, not medical advice.
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.
व्याघ्रस्य च पुनर्योनिं कुक्कुटत्वं ततोऽभवत् ॥
He was born again as a tiger, and then as a rooster. Then he got a human birth again, with wealth and grain.
