Brihaspati on Karma and Rebirth

Verse 1 (13.173.1)

पितामह महाप्राज्ञ सर्वशास्त्रविशारद । श्रोतुमिच्छामि मर्त्यानां संसारविधिमुत्तमम् ॥

pitāmaha mahāprājña sarvaśāstraviśārada | śrotumicchāmi martyānāṃ saṃsāravidhimuttamam

Grandsire, greatly wise, learned in all the shastras, I wish to hear the supreme order of the passage of mortals through samsara.

Verse 2 (13.173.2)

केन वृत्तेन राजेन्द्र वर्तमाना नरा भुवि । प्राप्नुवन्त्युत्तमं स्वर्गं कथं च नरकं नृप ॥

kena vṛttena rājendra vartamānā narā bhuvi | prāpnuvantyuttamaṃ svargaṃ kathaṃ ca narakaṃ nṛpa

By what conduct, O king of kings, do men living on earth reach the highest heaven, and by what do they come to hell, O lord?

Verse 3 (13.173.3)

मृतं शरीरमुत्सृज्य काष्ठलोष्टसमं जनाः । प्रयान्त्यमुं लोकमितः को वै ताननुगच्छति ॥

mṛtaṃ śarīramutsṛjya kāṣṭhaloṣṭasamaṃ janāḥ | prayāntyamuṃ lokamitaḥ ko vai tānanugacchati

When people cast off the body, which is then no better than wood or a clod, and go from here to that other world, who follows them?

Verse 4 (13.173.4)

दूरादायाति भगवान्बृहस्पतिरुदारधीः । पृच्छैनं सुमहाभागमेतद्गुह्यं सनातनम् ॥

dūrādāyāti bhagavānbṛhaspatirudāradhīḥ | pṛcchainaṃ sumahābhāgametadguhyaṃ sanātanam

The blessed Brihaspati, of noble mind, is coming from afar. Ask him, the greatly fortunate one, about this ancient secret.

Note on the text: Line 1 reads दूरादायाति भगवान् against CE 4a asāv āyāti bhagavān (recension variant, Wikisource reading kept).

Verse 5 (13.173.5)

नैतदन्येन शक्यं हि वक्तुं केनचिदद्य वै । वक्ता बृहस्पतिसमो न ह्यन्यो विद्यते क्वचित् ॥

naitadanyena śakyaṃ hi vaktuṃ kenacidadya vai | vaktā bṛhaspatisamo na hyanyo vidyate kvacit

No one else could speak of this today; there is nowhere another speaker equal to Brihaspati.

Verse 6 (13.173.6)

तयोः संवदतोरेवं पार्थगाङ्गेययोस्तदा । आजगाम विशुद्धात्मा भगवान्स बृहस्पतिः ॥

tayoḥ saṃvadatorevaṃ pārthagāṅgeyayostadā | ājagāma viśuddhātmā bhagavānsa bṛhaspatiḥ

While the son of Pritha and the son of Ganga were speaking thus, the blessed Brihaspati, pure of soul, arrived.

Verse 7 (13.173.7)

ततो राजा समुत्थाय धृतराष्ट्रपुरोगमः । पूजामनुपमां चक्रे सर्वे ते च सभासदः ॥

tato rājā samutthāya dhṛtarāṣṭrapurogamaḥ | pūjāmanupamāṃ cakre sarve te ca sabhāsadaḥ

Then the king rose, with Dhritarashtra at the head, and paid him incomparable honour; and so did all those of the assembly.

Note on the text: Corrected पूजामनुषमां → पूजामनुपमां (misprint in Wikisource; ष for प, CE 7c anupamāṃ).

Verse 8 (13.173.8)

ततो धर्मसुतो राजा भगवन्तं बृहस्पतिम् । उपगम्य यथान्यायं प्रश्नं पप्रच्छ तत्त्वतः ॥

tato dharmasuto rājā bhagavantaṃ bṛhaspatim | upagamya yathānyāyaṃ praśnaṃ papraccha tattvataḥ

Then the king, the son of Dharma, approached the blessed Brihaspati in due form and asked his question about the truth.

Note on the text: Line 2 reads प्रश्नं पप्रच्छ तत्त्वतः against CE 8c praśnaṃ papraccha suvrataḥ (recension variant, Wikisource reading kept).

Verse 9 (13.173.9)

भगवन्सर्वधर्मज्ञ सर्वशास्त्रविशारद । मर्त्यस्य कः सहायो वै पिता माता सुतो गुरुः । ज्ञातिसम्बन्धिवर्गश्च मित्रवर्गस्तथैव च ॥

bhagavansarvadharmajña sarvaśāstraviśārada | martyasya kaḥ sahāyo vai pitā mātā suto guruḥ | jñātisambandhivargaśca mitravargastathaiva ca

Blessed one, knower of all dharma, learned in all the shastras: who is a mortal's helper, his father, his mother, his son, his teacher, his circle of kin and relatives, or his circle of friends?

Note on the text: Restored line 3 (ज्ञातिसम्बन्धिवर्गश्च मित्रवर्गस्तथैव च): the raw page prints it as a separate, unnumbered row directly after 9ab, completing the verse, but the input dropped it. The CE has this line only at 13.112.12c, not in verse 9. Speaker (Yudhishthira) not printed on the page; the question continues his speech (CE gives the heading yudhiṣṭhira uvāca here). Lines 1-2 = CE 9a, 9c.

Verse 10 (13.173.10)

मृतं शरीरमुत्सृज्य काष्ठलोष्टसमं जनाः । गच्छन्त्यमुं च लोकं वै क एताननुगच्छति ॥

mṛtaṃ śarīramutsṛjya kāṣṭhaloṣṭasamaṃ janāḥ | gacchantyamuṃ ca lokaṃ vai ka etānanugacchati

When people cast off the body, which is like wood or a clod, and go to that other world, who follows them?

Note on the text: Speaker (Yudhishthira) not printed on the page; the question continues. Line 2 reads गच्छन्त्यमुं च लोकं वै क एताननुगच्छति against CE 10c gacchanty amutralokaṃ vai ka enam anugacchati (recension variant, Wikisource reading kept).

Verse 11 (13.173.11)

एकः प्रसूयते राजन्नेक एव विनश्यति । एकस्तरति दुर्गाणि गच्छत्येकस्तु दुर्गतिम् ॥

ekaḥ prasūyate rājanneka eva vinaśyati | ekastarati durgāṇi gacchatyekastu durgatim

One is born alone, O king, and one alone perishes; alone one crosses over hardships, and alone one goes to a bad end.

Note on the text: Speaker (Brihaspati) not printed on the page for this verse; his reply follows the question (CE has the heading bṛhaspatir uvāca). Line 1 reads एकः प्रसूयते राजन्नेक एव विनश्यति against CE 11a ekaḥ prasūto rājendra jantur eko vinaśyati (recension variant).

Verse 12 (13.173.12)

न सहायः पिता माता तथा भ्राता सुतो गुरुः । ज्ञातिसम्बन्धिवर्गश्च मित्रवर्गस्तथैव च ॥

na sahāyaḥ pitā mātā tathā bhrātā suto guruḥ | jñātisambandhivargaśca mitravargastathaiva ca

Neither father, mother, brother, son nor teacher is a helper, nor the circle of kin and relatives, nor the circle of friends.

Verse 13 (13.173.13)

मृतं शरीरमुत्सृज्य काष्ठलोष्टसमं जनाः । मुहूर्तमुपयुञ्ज्याथ ततो यान्ति पराङ्मुखाः ॥

mṛtaṃ śarīramutsṛjya kāṣṭhaloṣṭasamaṃ janāḥ | muhūrtamupayuñjyātha tato yānti parāṅmukhāḥ

People cast off the body, which is like wood or a clod; they stay with it for a moment, and then turn away from it.

Note on the text: Line 2 reads मुहूर्तमुपयुञ्ज्याथ ततो यान्ति पराङ्मुखाः against CE 13c muhūrtam upatiṣṭhanti tato yānti parāṅmukhāḥ; the reading उपयुञ्ज्याथ is doubtful (the page's commentary records मुहूर्तमिव रोदित्वा as a variant) but is kept as printed, and rendered as "stay with it".

Verse 14 (13.173.14)

तैस्तच्छरीरमुत्सृष्टं धर्म एकोऽनुगच्छति । तस्माद्धर्मः सहायार्थे सेवितव्यः सदा नृपः ॥

taistaccharīramutsṛṣṭaṃ dharma eko'nugacchati | tasmāddharmaḥ sahāyārthe sevitavyaḥ sadā nṛpaḥ

That body they leave behind; dharma alone follows. Therefore, O king, dharma must always be practised, to serve as one's helper.

Note on the text: Corrected धर्मि → धर्म (misprint in Wikisource; the sandhi धर्म एको requires धर्मः, CE 13e dharma eko 'nugacchati). Line 1 = CE 13.112.13e; line 2 = CE 14a (नृपः is printed against CE nṛbhiḥ; it is a valid word and is kept, and is rendered as an address to the king).

Verse 15 (13.173.15)

प्राणी धर्मसमायुक्तो गच्छेत्स्वर्गगतिं पराम् । तथैवाधर्मसंयुक्तो नरकं चोपपद्यते ॥

prāṇī dharmasamāyukto gacchetsvargagatiṃ parām | tathaivādharmasaṃyukto narakaṃ copapadyate

A creature joined with dharma goes to the highest state of heaven, and in the same way one joined with adharma falls into hell.

Verse 16 (13.173.16)

तस्मान्न्यायागतैरर्थैर्धर्मं सेवेत पण्डितः । धर्म एको मनुष्याणां सहायः पारलौकिकः ॥

tasmānnyāyāgatairarthairdharmaṃ seveta paṇḍitaḥ | dharma eko manuṣyāṇāṃ sahāyaḥ pāralaukikaḥ

Therefore a wise man should practise dharma with wealth gained by lawful means; dharma alone is a man's helper in the other world.

Verse 17 (13.173.17)

लोभान्मोहादनुक्रोशाद्भयाद्वाऽप्यबहुश्रुतः । नरः करोत्यकार्याणि परार्थे लोभमोहितः ॥

lobhānmohādanukrośādbhayādvā'pyabahuśrutaḥ | naraḥ karotyakāryāṇi parārthe lobhamohitaḥ

Out of greed, delusion, pity or fear, a man of little learning, led astray by greed, does what should not be done for the sake of another.

Verse 18 (13.173.18)

धर्मश्चार्थश्च कामश्च त्रितयं जीविते फलम् । एतत्त्रयमवाप्तव्यमधर्मपरिवर्जितम् ॥

dharmaścārthaśca kāmaśca tritayaṃ jīvite phalam | etattrayamavāptavyamadharmaparivarjitam

Dharma, wealth and desire are the threefold fruit of life; these three are to be won free of adharma.

Verse 19 (13.173.19)

श्रुतं भगवतो वाक्यं धर्मयुक्तं परं हितम् । शरीरनिश्चयं ज्ञातुं बुद्धिस्तु मम जायते ॥

śrutaṃ bhagavato vākyaṃ dharmayuktaṃ paraṃ hitam | śarīraniścayaṃ jñātuṃ buddhistu mama jāyate

I have heard the blessed one's words, full of dharma and supremely beneficial. A longing has arisen in me to know the truth about the body.

Note on the text: Speaker heading on the page: युधिष्ठिर उवाच (this verse). Line 2 reads शरीरनिश्चयं ज्ञातुं against CE 18c śarīravicayaṃ jñātuṃ (recension variant, Wikisource reading kept).

Verse 20 (13.173.20)

मृतं शरीरं हि नृणां सूक्ष्ममव्यक्ततां गतम् । अचक्षुर्विषयं प्राप्तं कथं धर्मोऽनुगच्छति ॥

mṛtaṃ śarīraṃ hi nṛṇāṃ sūkṣmamavyaktatāṃ gatam | acakṣurviṣayaṃ prāptaṃ kathaṃ dharmo'nugacchati

The dead body of men has become subtle and unmanifest, and has passed beyond the range of the eye; how then does dharma follow it?

Note on the text: Line 1 reads हि नृणां सूक्ष्ममव्यक्ततां गतम् against CE 19a śarīrarahitaṃ sūkṣmam avyaktatāṃ gatam (recension variant, Wikisource reading kept).

Verse 21 (13.173.21)

पृथिवी वायुराकाशमापो ज्योतिरनन्तरम् । बुद्धिरात्मा च सहिता धर्मं पश्यन्ति नित्यदा ॥

pṛthivī vāyurākāśamāpo jyotiranantaram | buddhirātmā ca sahitā dharmaṃ paśyanti nityadā

Earth, air, space, water, and fire next to them, together with the intellect and the self, always witness dharma.

Note on the text: Speaker heading on the page: बृहस्पतिरुवाच (this verse). Line 1 reads ज्योतिरनन्तरम् against CE 20a jyotiś ca pañcamam (recension variant).

Verse 22 (13.173.22)

प्राणिनामिह सर्वेषां साक्षिभूतं दिवानिशम् । एतैश्च सह धर्मोऽपि तं जीवमनुगच्छति ॥

prāṇināmiha sarveṣāṃ sākṣibhūtaṃ divāniśam | etaiśca saha dharmo'pi taṃ jīvamanugacchati

They are witnesses, day and night, of all creatures here; and together with them dharma too follows that living being.

Note on the text: Line 1 reads साक्षिभूतं दिवानिशम् against CE 21a sākṣibhūtāni cāniśam (recension variant, Wikisource reading kept).

Verse 23 (13.173.23)

त्वगस्थि मांसं शुक्रं च शोणितं च महामते । शरीरं वर्जयन्त्येते जीवितेन विवर्जितम् ॥

tvagasthi māṃsaṃ śukraṃ ca śoṇitaṃ ca mahāmate | śarīraṃ varjayantyete jīvitena vivarjitam

Skin, bone, flesh, semen and blood, O wise one, abandon the body when it is bereft of life.

Verse 24 (13.173.24)

ततो धर्मसमायुक्तः स जीवः सुखमेधते । इह लोके परे चैव किं भूयः कथयामि ते ॥

tato dharmasamāyuktaḥ sa jīvaḥ sukhamedhate | iha loke pare caiva kiṃ bhūyaḥ kathayāmi te

Then, joined with dharma, that living being flourishes in happiness, in this world and in the next. What more shall I tell you?

Verse 25 (13.173.25)

तद्दर्शितं भगवता यथा धर्मोऽनुगच्छति । एतत्तु ज्ञातुमिच्छामि कथं रेतः प्रवर्तते ॥

taddarśitaṃ bhagavatā yathā dharmo'nugacchati | etattu jñātumicchāmi kathaṃ retaḥ pravartate

The blessed one has shown how dharma follows. But this I wish to know: how does semen arise?

Note on the text: Speaker heading on the page: युधिष्ठिर उवाच (this verse).

Verse 26 (13.173.26)

अन्नमश्नन्ति यद्देवाः शरीरस्था नरेश्वर । पृथिवी वायुराकाशमापो ज्योतिर्मनस्तथा ॥

annamaśnanti yaddevāḥ śarīrasthā nareśvara | pṛthivī vāyurākāśamāpo jyotirmanastathā

The gods who dwell in the body and eat the food, O lord of men, are earth, air, space, water, fire and the mind.

Note on the text: Speaker heading on the page: बृहस्पतिरुवाच (this verse). Line 1 reads अन्नमश्नन्ति यद्देवाः against CE 25a annam aśnanti ye devāḥ (recension variant).

Verse 27 (13.173.27)

ततस्तृप्तेषु राजेन्द्र तेषु भूतेषु पञ्चसु । मनःषष्ठेषु शुद्धात्मन्रेतः सम्पद्यते महत् ॥

tatastṛpteṣu rājendra teṣu bhūteṣu pañcasu | manaḥṣaṣṭheṣu śuddhātmanretaḥ sampadyate mahat

Then, O king, when these five elements are satisfied, with the mind as the sixth, O pure-souled one, abundant semen comes into being.

Verse 28 (13.173.28)

ततो गर्भः सम्भवति श्लेषात्स्त्रीपुंसयोर्नृप । एतत्ते सर्वमाख्यातं भूयः किं श्रोतुमिच्छसि ॥

tato garbhaḥ sambhavati śleṣātstrīpuṃsayornṛpa | etatte sarvamākhyātaṃ bhūyaḥ kiṃ śrotumicchasi

From it the embryo comes into being, through the union of woman and man, O king. All this has been told to you; what more do you wish to hear?

Note on the text: Line 1 reads श्लेषात्स्त्रीपुंसयोर्नृप against CE 27a pārtha saṃgame (recension variant).

Verse 29 (13.173.29)

आख्यातं मे भगवता गर्भः सञ्जायते यथा । यथा जातस्तु पुरुषः प्रपद्यति तदुच्यताम् ॥

ākhyātaṃ me bhagavatā garbhaḥ sañjāyate yathā | yathā jātastu puruṣaḥ prapadyati taducyatām

You have told me how the embryo is formed. Now tell me what the person, once born, goes on to undergo.

Verse 30 (13.173.30)

आसन्नमात्रः पुरुषस्तैर्भूतैरभिभूयते । विप्रयुक्तश्च तैर्भूतैः पुनर्यात्यपरां गतिम् । स च भूतसमायुक्तः प्राप्नुते जीव एव हि ॥

āsannamātraḥ puruṣastairbhūtairabhibhūyate | viprayuktaśca tairbhūtaiḥ punaryātyaparāṃ gatim | sa ca bhūtasamāyuktaḥ prāpnute jīva eva hi

As soon as he draws near, the person is overcome by those elements; parted from those elements, he goes again to another state. And joined once more with the elements, it is the living self that obtains it.

Note on the text: Speaker heading on the page: बृहस्पतिरुवाच (this verse). A three-line verse: lines = CE 29a, 29c, 29e (line 1 reads तैर्भूतैरभिभूयते against CE satataṃ tair bhūtair abhibhūyate).

Verse 31 (13.173.31)

ततोऽस्य कर्म पश्यन्ति शुभं वा यदि वाशुभम् । देवताः पञ्चभूतस्थाः किं भूयः श्रोतुमिच्छसि ॥

tato'sya karma paśyanti śubhaṃ vā yadi vāśubham | devatāḥ pañcabhūtasthāḥ kiṃ bhūyaḥ śrotumicchasi

Then the deities who dwell in the five elements watch his deeds, whether good or bad. What more do you wish to hear?

Note on the text: Same verse as CE 13.112.30; the CE also prints the same two lines as star lines 13.112.23a*0540_02-03.

Verse 32 (13.173.32)

त्वगस्थिमांसमुत्सृज्य तैश्च भूतैर्विवर्जितः । जीवः सह वसन्कृत्स्नं सुखदुःखसहः प्रभो ॥

tvagasthimāṃsamutsṛjya taiśca bhūtairvivarjitaḥ | jīvaḥ saha vasankṛtsnaṃ sukhaduḥkhasahaḥ prabho

When the living self has left skin, bone and flesh and is parted from those elements, how, O lord, does it live on, bearing all its pleasure and pain?

Note on the text: Speaker heading on the page: युधिष्ठिर उवाच (this verse). Line 2 reads जीवः सह वसन्कृत्स्नं सुखदुःखसहः प्रभो against CE 31c jīvaḥ sa bhagavan kvasthaḥ sukhaduḥkhe samaśnute (recension variant; the page's commentary records the CE-type reading). The Wikisource line is hard to construe and is rendered freely.

Verse 33 (13.173.33)

भोगवश्यं कर्मवश्यं यातनावश्यमित्यपि । एतत्त्रयाणामासाद्य कर्मतः सोऽश्नुते फलम् ॥

bhogavaśyaṃ karmavaśyaṃ yātanāvaśyamityapi | etattrayāṇāmāsādya karmataḥ so'śnute phalam

It is subject to enjoyment, subject to karma, subject to torment; having come under these three, it reaps its fruit according to its deed.

Note on the text: Removed the stray opening backtick (Wikisource's mark of an added passage). Speaker heading on the page: बृहस्पतिरुवाच (this verse). Not in the critical edition's constituted text: lines = CE star passage 13.112.32*0541_01-02, which the CE places before 32a.

Verse 34 (13.173.34)

जीवः कर्मसमायुक्तः शीघ्रं रेतस्त्वमागतः । स्त्रीणां पुष्पं समासाद्य सूतिकाले लभेत तत् ॥

jīvaḥ karmasamāyuktaḥ śīghraṃ retastvamāgataḥ | strīṇāṃ puṣpaṃ samāsādya sūtikāle labheta tat

The living self, joined with its karma, quickly becomes semen; entering a woman's flower, it obtains its body at the time of birth.

Note on the text: Lines = CE 32a, 32c; line 2 reads सूतिकाले लभेत तत् against CE 32c sūte kālena bhārata (recension variant).

Verse 35 (13.173.35)

यमस्य पुरुषैः क्लेशं यमस्य पुरुषैर्वधम् । दुःखं संसारचक्रं च नरः क्लेशं स विन्दति ॥

yamasya puruṣaiḥ kleśaṃ yamasya puruṣairvadham | duḥkhaṃ saṃsāracakraṃ ca naraḥ kleśaṃ sa vindati

He meets suffering at the hands of Yama's servants, death at the hands of Yama's servants, sorrow, the wheel of samsara, and affliction.

Note on the text: Corrected क्लेसं → क्लेशं (misprint in Wikisource; स for श, CE 33a kleśaṃ).

Verse 36 (13.173.36)

इह लोके स च प्राणी जन्मप्रभृति पार्थिव । सुकृतं कर्म वै भुङ्क्ते धर्मस्य फलमाश्रितः ॥

iha loke sa ca prāṇī janmaprabhṛti pārthiva | sukṛtaṃ karma vai bhuṅkte dharmasya phalamāśritaḥ

In this world that creature, from birth onward, O king, enjoys his good deeds, resting on the fruit of dharma.

Note on the text: Line 2 reads सुकृतं कर्म against CE 34c svakṛtaṃ karma (recension variant, Wikisource reading kept).

Verse 37 (13.173.37)

यदि धर्मं यथाशक्ति जन्मप्रभृति सेवते । ततः स पुरुषो भूत्वा सेवते नियतं सुखम् ॥

yadi dharmaṃ yathāśakti janmaprabhṛti sevate | tataḥ sa puruṣo bhūtvā sevate niyataṃ sukham

If from birth he practises dharma as far as he is able, he then becomes a man and enjoys lasting happiness.

Verse 38 (13.173.38)

अथान्तरा तु धर्मस्याप्यधर्ममुपसेवते । सुखस्यानन्तरं दुःखं स जीवोऽप्यधिगच्छति ॥

athāntarā tu dharmasyāpyadharmamupasevate | sukhasyānantaraṃ duḥkhaṃ sa jīvo'pyadhigacchati

But if, in the middle of his dharma, he turns to adharma, that living being meets sorrow right after happiness.

Verse 39 (13.173.39)

अधर्मेण समायुक्तो यमस्य विषयं गतः । महद्दुःखं समासाद्य तिर्यग्योनौ प्रजायते ॥

adharmeṇa samāyukto yamasya viṣayaṃ gataḥ | mahadduḥkhaṃ samāsādya tiryagyonau prajāyate

Joined with adharma, he goes to Yama's realm, and after enduring great suffering he is born in an animal womb.

Verse 40 (13.173.40)

कर्मणा येन येनेह यस्यां योनौ प्रजायते । जीवो मोहसमायुक्तस्तन्मे निगदतः शृणु ॥

karmaṇā yena yeneha yasyāṃ yonau prajāyate | jīvo mohasamāyuktastanme nigadataḥ śṛṇu

Hear from me, as I tell you, by which deed each living being, bound in delusion, is born in which womb.

Verse 41 (13.173.41)

यदेतदुच्यते शास्त्रे सेतिहासे च च्छन्दसि । यमस्य विषयं घोरं मर्त्यो लोकः प्रपद्यते ॥

yadetaducyate śāstre setihāse ca cchandasi | yamasya viṣayaṃ ghoraṃ martyo lokaḥ prapadyate

What is declared in the shastra, in the Itihasa and in the Veda is this: that the world of mortals falls into Yama's terrible domain.

Verse 42 (13.173.42)

इह स्थानानि पुण्यानि देवतुल्यानि भूपते । तिर्यग्योन्यतिरिक्तानि गतिमन्ति च सर्वशः ॥

iha sthānāni puṇyāni devatulyāni bhūpate | tiryagyonyatiriktāni gatimanti ca sarvaśaḥ

Here, O lord of the earth, there are holy abodes equal to those of the gods, apart from the animal wombs, each having its own destined course in every way.

Note on the text: Not in the critical edition's constituted text: lines = CE star passage 13.112.39d*0544_01-02 (iha sthānāni puṇyāni devatulyāni bhūtale / tiryagyonyatiriktāni gatimanti ca sarvaśaḥ), with a variant (भूपते for bhūtale). Verses 42-44 together are CE 39d*0544_01-06.

Verse 43 (13.173.43)

यमस्य भवने दिव्ये ब्रह्मलोकसमे गुणैः । कर्मभिर्नियतैर्बद्धो जन्तुर्दुःखान्युपाश्नुते ॥

In Yama's divine abode, which equals the world of Brahma in its qualities, the creature, bound by fixed deeds, endures its sorrows.

येनयेन तु भावेन कर्मणा पुरुषो गतिम् । प्रयाति परुषां घोरां तत्ते वक्ष्याम्यतः परम् ॥

yenayena tu bhāvena karmaṇā puruṣo gatim | prayāti paruṣāṃ ghorāṃ tatte vakṣyāmyataḥ param

By whatever disposition and deed a man goes to a harsh and terrible state, that I shall tell you next.

Note on the text: Not in the critical edition's constituted text: lines = CE star passage 13.112.39d*0544_05-06, with a variant in line 2 (प्रयाति परुषां घोरां for prayāti narakaṃ ghoraṃ).

Verse 45 (13.173.45)

अधीत्य चतुरो वेदान्द्विजो मोहसमन्वितः । पतितात्प्रतिगृह्याथ खरयोनौ प्रजायते ॥

adhītya caturo vedāndvijo mohasamanvitaḥ | patitātpratigṛhyātha kharayonau prajāyate

A twice-born man who has studied the four Vedas but, deluded, accepts gifts from an outcast is born in the womb of an ass.

Verse 46 (13.173.46)

खरो जीवति वर्षाणि दश पञ्च च भारत । खरो मृतो बलीवर्दः सप्तवर्षाणि जीवति ॥

kharo jīvati varṣāṇi daśa pañca ca bhārata | kharo mṛto balīvardaḥ saptavarṣāṇi jīvati

The ass lives fifteen years, O Bharata; when the ass dies he becomes an ox and lives seven years.

Verse 47 (13.173.47)

बलीवर्दो मृतश्चापि जायते ब्रह्मराक्षसः । ब्रह्मरक्षश्च मासांस्त्रींस्ततो जायेत ब्राह्मणः ॥

balīvardo mṛtaścāpi jāyate brahmarākṣasaḥ | brahmarakṣaśca māsāṃstrīṃstato jāyeta brāhmaṇaḥ

The ox, too, when he dies is born a brahmarakshasa; after three months as a brahmarakshasa he is born a brahmin.

Then the creature passes through many hundreds of wombs; having gone through many rounds of samsara, he is then born among the animals.

Note on the text: Corrected बहुभि → बहुभिः (misprint in Wikisource; dropped visarga, CE 84a bahubhiḥ). Corrected ततस्मिर्यक्षु → ततस्तिर्यक्षु (misprint in Wikisource; broken conjunct, CE 84c tatas tiryak).

Verse 97 (13.173.97)

One who steals curds is born a crane; one who steals uncleaned fish, a plava; and the evil-minded thief is born a madhudamsha.

Verse 99 (13.173.99)

फलं वा मूलकं हृत्वा अपूपं वा पिपीलिकाः । चोरयित्वा च निष्पावं जायते हलगोलकः ॥

phalaṃ vā mūlakaṃ hṛtvā apūpaṃ vā pipīlikāḥ | corayitvā ca niṣpāvaṃ jāyate halagolakaḥ

One who steals fruit, a radish or a cake becomes an ant; having stolen beans, he is born a halagolaka, a kind of insect.

Note on the text: Line 1 = CE 98c (with पिपीलिकाः for pipīlikaḥ); line 2 = CE star line 13.112.98d*0561_01. The page's commentary glosses निष्पाव as राजमाष (a kind of bean) and हलगोलक as a long-tailed, round insect.

पायसं चोरयित्वा तु तित्तिरित्वमवाप्नुते । हृत्वा पिष्टमयं पूपं कुम्भोलूकः प्रजायते ॥

Note on the text: Line 1 = CE 97c; line 2 is a variant of CE 98a (hṛtvā paiṣṭam apūpaṃ ca kumbholūkaḥ prajāyate). The page's commentary glosses कुम्भोलूक as a kind of owl.

The evil-minded man who steals iron is born a crow; the evil-minded man who steals bronze is born a harita bird.

Note on the text: Corrected दुर्बद्धि → दुर्बुद्धि (misprint in Wikisource; dropped vowel mark, CE 99a durbuddhir). Line 1 = CE 97a; line 2 = CE 99a. The page's commentary glosses हारित as a kind of bird.

Verse 102 (13.173.102)

राजतं भाजनं हृत्वा कपोतः सम्प्रजायते । हृत्वा तु काञ्चनं भाण्डं कृमियोनौ प्रजायते ॥

Stealing washed silk cloth, one gets the state of a lizard; stealing silken kaushika cloth, a man is then born a quail.

Note on the text: Not in the critical edition's constituted text: lines = CE star passage 13.112.100b*0562_01-02 (verses 103-104 are 0562_01-04). The page's commentary glosses पत्रोर्ण as washed silk.

Verse 104 (13.173.104)

अंशुकं चोरयित्वा तु शुको जायति मानवः । चोरयित्वा दुकूलं तु मृतो हंसः प्रजायते ॥

aṃśukaṃ corayitvā tu śuko jāyati mānavaḥ | corayitvā dukūlaṃ tu mṛto haṃsaḥ prajāyate

Stealing fine cloth, a man is born a parrot; stealing linen, he dies and is born a goose.

Note on the text: Corrected शुक्रो → शुको (misprint in Wikisource; stray र, CE star line 0562_03 śuko). Not in the critical edition's constituted text: lines = CE star passage 13.112.100b*0562_03-04.

Verse 105 (13.173.105)

क्रौञ्चः कार्पासिकं हृत्वा मृतो जायति मानवः । चोरयित्वा नरः पट्टं त्वाविकं चैव भारत । क्षौमं च वस्त्रमादाय शशो जन्तुः प्रजायते ॥

krauñcaḥ kārpāsikaṃ hṛtvā mṛto jāyati mānavaḥ | corayitvā naraḥ paṭṭaṃ tvāvikaṃ caiva bhārata | kṣaumaṃ ca vastramādāya śaśo jantuḥ prajāyate

Stealing cotton cloth, one is born a curlew, and after death a man; a man who steals silk and woollen cloth, O Bharata, or takes linen cloth, is born a hare.

Note on the text: Restored line 3 (क्षौमं च वस्त्रमादाय शशो जन्तुः प्रजायते): the raw page prints it as a separate, unnumbered row directly after 105ab, completing the verse, but the input dropped it. Lines = CE 100c, 101a (with caiva for vāpi), 101c.

Verse 106 (13.173.106)

वर्णान्हृत्वा तु पुरुषो मृतो जायति बर्हिणः । हृत्वा रक्तानि वस्त्राणि जायते जीवजीवकः ॥

चोरयित्वा पयश्चापि बलाका सम्प्रजायते ॥

corayitvā payaścāpi balākā samprajāyate

Stealing milk, one is born a female crane.

Note on the text: A single line, printed on the page with only the label 109a. It is CE 96a; its pair in the CE (96c, yas tu corayate tailaṃ tailapāyī prajāyate) is represented by the next verse, so no line is restored here.

Verse 110 (13.173.110)

यस्तु चोरयते तैलं नरो मोहसमन्वितः । सोपि राजन्मृतो जन्तुस्तैलपायी प्रजायते ॥

yastu corayate tailaṃ naro mohasamanvitaḥ | sopi rājanmṛto jantustailapāyī prajāyate

And the man who, deluded, steals oil also dies, O king, and is born an oil-drinker.

Note on the text: Combines CE 96c (yas tu corayate tailaṃ … tailapāyī prajāyate) with the CE star lines 13.112.96c*0559_01-02 (naro mohasamanvitaḥ / so 'pi rājan mṛto jantus), which the CE inserts between its halves.

Verse 111 (13.173.111)

अशस्त्रं पुरुषं हत्वा सशस्त्रः पुरुषाधमः । अर्थार्थी यदि वा वैरी स मृतो जायते खरः ॥

A wicked man who, armed, kills an unarmed man, whether for gain or out of enmity, dies and is born an ass.

Note on the text: Corrected स्वरः → खरः (misprint in Wikisource; स for ख, CE 86c kharaḥ, and verse 112 begins खरो जीवति).

Verse 112 (13.173.112)

खरो जीवति वर्षे द्वे ततः शस्त्रेण वध्यते । स मृतो मृगयोनौ तु नित्योद्विग्नोऽभिजायते ॥

kharo jīvati varṣe dve tataḥ śastreṇa vadhyate | sa mṛto mṛgayonau tu nityodvigno'bhijāyate

tatastu nidhanaṃ prāptaḥ kālaparyāyacoditaḥ | adharmasya kṣayaṃ kṛtvā tato jāyati mānuṣaḥ

Then, reaching death, driven on by the turn of time and exhausting his adharma, he is born a man.

A wicked man who kills a woman goes to Yama's realm and, meeting many torments, passes through twenty-one hells.

Note on the text: Line 2 reads बहून्क्लेशान्समासाद्य नरकानेकविंशतिम् against CE 91c bahūn kleśān samāsādya saṃsārāṃś caiva viṃśatim (recension variant, Wikisource reading kept).

bhojanaṃ corayitvā tu makṣikā jāyate naraḥ | makṣikāsaṅghavaśago bahūnmāsānbhavatyuta

A man who steals food is born a fly; he remains for many months in thrall to swarms of flies.

Verse 122 (13.173.122)

दशन्वै मानुषान्नित्यं पापात्मा स विशाम्पते । घृतं हृत्वा तु दुर्बुद्धिः काकमद्गुः प्रजायते ॥

Verse 124 (13.173.124)

विश्वासेन तु निक्षिप्तं यो विनिह्नोति मानवः । स गतायुर्नरस्तात मत्स्ययोनौ प्रजायते ॥

viśvāsena tu nikṣiptaṃ yo vinihnoti mānavaḥ | sa gatāyurnarastāta matsyayonau prajāyate
