Summary

Vyasa The Bhagavad Gita (Telang translation… (1882)

Aruna, after freely enjoying with many men, contacted venereal disease and her youthful body very soon became ugly and unattractive. When she died she went on to hell and, after having suffered for a long time, she attained the body of a female parrot.
One day that parrot was searching here and there for food. In the meantime the vulture, who in his previous life had been Pingala, saw the female parrot and remembering his last life and understanding that this parrot had been his wife, he attacked her with his sharp beaks.

Vyasa The Bhagavad Gita (Telang translation… (1882)

Yamaraja replied, "On the banks of the river Ganga lived a great devotee of Lord Vishnu by the name of Vat; he was free from lust and greed. Daily he recited the Fifth Chapter of Ṥrīmad Bhagavad-gītā, and when Vat gave up his body he went straight to Vaikuntha. Due to his reciting the Fifth Chapter of hagavad-gītā daily, his body became completely pure, and because of your coming in contact with the skull of the body of that devotee you both have attained Vaikuntha.
