VipakShrut- Ang-11- ShrutSkandh-1, Chapter-4
When this son of ours was born, he was placed under a cart (shakat). As such, he should be popularly known by the name "Shake." The rest of the story should be read as that of Ujjhitak.
Subhadra Sarthavaha met his death during a sea voyage in the Lavan Samudra. Soon, grief-stricken Bhadraa Sarthavahi also met her end. The city guards expelled young Shakat from his house. (They auctioned the house to repay loans to creditors, and Shakat had to abandon his house). On being expelled from his house, young Shakat started roaming around the trisections, (etc.) in Saahanjani city and frequenting gambling houses (and bars). At one point of time, he fell in love with courtesan Sudarshana. (As Ujhit fell for Kamadhvaja.)
Later, at some point of time, king Mahachandra's minister Sushen got young Shakat expelled from the house of Kamadhvaja courtesan and kept her as his mistress in an independent house. He started enjoying all human comforts and carnal pleasures with the courtesan kept as his mistress.
On getting expelled from the house of Sudarshana courtesan, that young Shakat, being madly attached (rnurchhit) with Sudarshana courtesan, infatuated (griddha) with her, entrapped in her love (grathit), lost in her thoughts (adyupapanna), could not think of, love and derive mental peace in any other person or thing. Always thinking about her, making efforts to possess her, devoting his mind, speech, and body to her, impelled by his desire for her, he got himself involved in seeking an opportunity when the king did not come to courtesan Sudarshana's house, when no other royal person was there, and when even an ordinary person was also not there. Once he got such an opportunity, he stealthily entered the house of Sudarshana courtesan. He then started enjoying all human comforts and carnal pleasures with her.
Then, one day, minister Sushen, after taking his bath, embellished fully with ornaments, and accompanied by a throng of people, went to the house of Sudarshana courtesan. There, he came across young Shakat enjoying all human comforts and carnal pleasures with Sudarshana courtesan. When he saw this, he turned red with anger and raised his eyebrows. He got young Shakat caught by his guards and gave him a thorough beating by hammering and tossing the body of Shakat with blows of stick, fist, and so on, and got him tied in the avakotak bond (bending the neck and tying it with hands already tied at the back). He took Shakat to king Mahachandra and submitted, "Sire, this young Shakat has committed the crime of entering my private quarters (where women of the house live)."
The king replied, "You are allowed to punish him as you like."
On getting permission from king Mahachandra, minister Sushen sentenced young Shakat and courtesan Sudarshana to death by the aforementioned method (As you saw, Gautam!). Gautam! This way, that young Shakat is suffering for the sinful deeds he committed in the past.
[26] Meaning-Knowing the cause of Shakat's misery, Gautam Swami asked, "Bhante! After his death, where will this young Shakat go? Where will he be reborn?" Bhagavan replied, "Gautam! After completing his life-span of fifty-seven years, this afternoon, young Shakat will be forced to embrace a large and fire-like red hot female statue."
