Chapter 100 · A Vegetable Seller's Trust
पूर्वाभाद्रपदा नक्षत्र प्रथम चरण
॥ शिव उवाच ॥मथुरापुरि मध्ये तु शूद्र एको हि तिष्ठति ॥शाकादीनां च सततं विक्रयं तु सदाऽकरोत् ॥ १ ॥
Shiva said: In the middle of Mathura city lived one shudra (servant class). He always sold vegetables and the like.
Classical view, not medical advice.
विष्णुभक्तिरतः शान्तः पुण्यात्मा साधुसंमतः ॥
He loved Vishnu, was peaceful and pure of heart, and was approved by the good. He was known as Sevadasa, and his wife was Radhika.
कुलाचारे रतः साधुर्द्विजसेवासु तत्परः ॥
He kept the family ways, was good, and was devoted to serving brahmins. The good man traded with the wealth of the family priest.
बहुवर्षे गते देवि ब्राह्मणोऽपि तदागतः ॥
Many years passed, O Goddess. Then the brahmin came too. He and his wife showed the brahmin great respect, dear one.
