Chapter 93 · A Brahmin Who Left His Duties
धनिष्ठा नक्षत्र द्वितीय चरण
सर्पेण दष्टो देवेशि पञ्चके निर्जलेऽपि वा ॥यमदूतैर्महादेवि यमाज्ञां गृह्य वै द्विजम् ॥ ५ ॥
He was bitten by a snake, O Queen of the gods. It was in the panchaka (the Moon's time in the five stars Dhanishtha to Revati), or without water. The messengers of Yama (the god of death), O great Goddess, took the brahmin by Yama's order.
Classical view, not medical advice.
रौरवे क्षिप्तवाञ्छीघ्रं महाकष्टं प्रभुज्यते ॥
He was thrown at once into the Raurava hell and suffered great pain. He endured the torment of hell for sixty thousand years.
नरकान्निःसृतो देवि ग्राहयोनिरभूत्पुरा ॥
Coming out of hell, O Goddess, he was born a crocodile. Then he was born a tortoise, and then he got a human birth.
पूर्वजन्मनि भो देवि ब्राह्मणत्वं यतोऽत्यजत् ॥
In the past birth, O Goddess, he gave up being a brahmin. So he has no son, O Goddess, and no daughter is born.
