Chapter 96 · A Herdsman and His Cattle
शतभिषा नक्षत्र प्रथम चरण
गौः सवत्सा महादेवि पीडिता भोजनं विना ॥गृहाऽभावे मृता बाह्ये वत्सेनैव च संयुता ॥ ४ ॥
A cow with her calf, great Goddess, was hurt by want of food. For lack of a shed she died outside, together with her calf.
Classical view, not medical advice.
ततो बहुगते काले गोपालस्य मृतिस्तदा ॥
After much time passed, Gopala died. The messengers of Yama (the god of death) threw him into a very terrible hell named Mud.
क्षिप्तं यमाज्ञया देवि षष्टिवर्षसहस्रकम् ॥
By the order of Yama (the god of death) he was thrown in for sixty thousand years. Coming out of hell, O Goddess, he was born a frog.
सरटस्य ततो देवि मानुषत्वं ततोऽभवत् ॥
Then he was born a lizard, and after that a human. He has wealth and grain but is always troubled by illness.
