Chapter 10 · Bharani 3rd Pada
भरणी नक्षत्र तृतीय चरण
॥ शिव उवाच ॥एको वणिग्जनो देवि काकुत्स्थनगरे शुभे ॥अग्निकोणे शिवपुरो योजनार्द्धप्रमाणके ॥ १ ॥
Shiva said: A merchant lived, O Goddess, in the good town of Kakutstha. It lay to the southeast, half a yojana (a measure of distance) from Shivapura.
Classical view, not medical advice.
धनाढ्यो ह्यवसद्देवि वैश्यवृत्तिरतः सदा ॥
He was rich and always busy with a merchant's trade, O Goddess. He sold jaggery, grain, juices and the like.
एकस्मिन् समये देवि गुडमादाय चाध्वनि ॥
Once, O Goddess, he took jaggery along the road. He loaded a bull with a heavy burden, O fair-faced one.
भारेण पीडितोऽनड्वान् स वै पथि गतः शिवे ॥
The ox, crushed by the load, went along the road, O Parvati. He did not know the sin that came from the bull's pain.
