as a hog.  As soon as he takes birth as a hog he has to die of disease.  In consequence of his sin, that foolish man has next to take birth as a dog, O king.  Living as a dog for five years, he then regains his status of humanity.  Having committed an act of adultery with the spouse of another man, one has to take birth as a wolf.  After that he has to assume the forms of a dog and jackal and vulture.  He has next to take birth as a snake and then as a Kanka and then as a crane.[512] That man of sinful soul who, stupefied by folly, commits an act of sexual congress with the spouse of a brother, has to take birth as a male Kokila and to live in that form for a whole year, O king.  He who, through lust, commits an act of sexual congress with the wife of a friend, or the wife of preceptor, or the wife of his king, has, after death, to take the form of a hog.  He has to live in his porcine form for five years and then to assume that of a wolf for ten years.  For the next five years he has to assume that of a wolf for ten years.  For the next five years he has to live as a cat and then for the next ten years as a cock.  He has next to live for three months as an ant, and then as a worm for a month.  Having undergone these transformations he has next to live as a vile worm for four and ten years.  When his sin becomes exhausted by such chastisement, he at last regains the status of humanity.  When a wedding is about to take place, or a sacrifice, or an act of gifts is about to be made, O thou of great puissance, the man who offers any obstruction, has to take birth in his next life as a vile worm, Assuming such a form he has to live, O Bharata, for five and ten years.  When his demerit is exhausted by such suffering, he regains the status of humanity.  Having once bestowed his daughter in marriage upon a person, he who seeks to bestow her again upon a second husband, has, O king, to take birth among vile worms.  Assuming such a form, O Yudhisthira, he has to live for a period of three and ten years.  Upon the exhaustion of his demerit by such sufferance, he regains the status of humanity.  He who eats without having performed the rites in honour of the deities or those in honour of the Pitris or without having offered (even) oblations of water to both the Rishis and the Pitris, has to take birth as a crow.  Living as a crow for a hundred years he next assumes the form of a cock.  His next transformation is that of a snake for a month.  After this, he regains the status of humanity.  He who disregards his eldest brother who is even like a sire, has, after death, to take birth in the order of cranes.  Having assumed that form he has to live in it for two years.  Casting off that form at the conclusion of that period, he regains the status of humanity.  That Sudra who has sexual intercourse with a Brahmana woman, has, after death, to take birth as a hog.  As soon as he takes birth in the porcine order he dies of disease, O king.  The wretch has next to take birth as a dog.  O king, in consequence
