Karma Vipaka Samhita · by Anonymous
Chapter 100 · A Vegetable Seller's Trust
पूर्वाभाद्रपदा नक्षत्र प्रथम चरण
विषं दत्तं चतुर्थेऽह्नि भोजनान्तर्विधानतः ॥न जानाति तदा साधुस्तद्वृत्तं ब्राह्मणस्य तु ॥ ५ ॥
On the fourth day, poison was given during the meal. The good man did not then know what had happened to the brahmin.
Classical view, not medical advice.
मरणं वै ततो जातं ब्राह्मणस्य सुरेश्वरि ॥
Death came to the brahmin, O queen of the gods. When the brahmin was killed, cries of woe rose in every house.
श्रुत्वा तच्च पुरीं त्यक्त्वा प्रयागे साधुरागतः ॥
Hearing of it, the good man left the city and came to Prayaga. He gave up his body there, firm in his resolve, O fair-faced one.
पश्चात्तत्रैव सा गत्वा पत्नी प्राणांस्ततोऽत्यजत् ॥
Afterwards his wife went there too and gave up her life. She left Mathura for Prayaga for his sake, O lovely one.
