पूर्वाभाद्रपदा नक्षत्र प्रथम चरण
विष्णुभक्तिरतः शान्तः पुण्यात्मा साधुसंमतः ॥सेवादास इति ख्यातस्तस्य पत्नी तु राधिका ॥ २ ॥
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.
Classical view, not medical advice.
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.
विषं दत्तं चतुर्थेऽह्नि भोजनान्तर्विधानतः ॥
On the fourth day, poison was given during the meal. The good man did not then know what had happened to the brahmin.
