Chapter 10 · Bharani 3rd Pada
भरणी नक्षत्र तृतीय चरण
धनाढ्यो ह्यवसद्देवि वैश्यवृत्तिरतः सदा ॥विक्रयं कुरुते देवि गुडमन्नं रसादिकम् ॥ २ ॥
He was rich and always busy with a merchant's trade, O Goddess. He sold jaggery, grain, juices and the like.
Classical view, not medical advice.
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.
एवं बहुतिथे काले विल्वमङ्गलके पुरे ॥
After much time, in the town of Bilvamangalaka, the merchant died with his wife, at the Sarayu river.
