feaver 107 degrees(f)

Imported quote 14381 The word prajvaraḥ is very significant, for it means "the fever sent by Lord Visnu." Such a fever is always set at 107 degrees, the temperature at which a man dies. Thus the King of the mlecchas and yavanas requested the daughter of Time, Kalakanya, to become his sister. There was no need to ask her to become his wife because the yavanas and mlecchas do not make distinctions as far as sex life is concerned. Thus one may outwardly be a sister, mother or daughter and still have sex. Yavana-raja's brother was Prajvara, and Kalakanya was invalidity itself. Combined and strengthened by the soldiers of Yavana-raja-namely non-hygienic conditions, illicit sex and ultimately a high degree of temperature to bring on death-they would be able to smash the materialistic way of life. In this connection it is significant that just as Narada was immune to the attack of jara, or invalidity, similarly, jara, or the destructive force, cannot attack any follower of Narada Muni or a pure Vaisnava.

Medical science verifies that when one's temperature is raised to 107 degrees, a man immediately dies. This prajvara, or high fever, at the last stage of life places the living entity in the midst of a blazing fire.
