Chapter 101 · A Minister and a Grandson
पूर्वाभाद्रपदा नक्षत्र द्वितीय चरण
॥ शिव उवाच ॥धर्मेण जायते पुत्रो धर्मेण लभते श्रियम् ॥धर्मेण व्याधिनाशः स्यात्तस्माद्धर्मपरो भवेत् ॥ १ ॥
Shiva said: By right living a son is born. By right living one gains wealth. By right living illness is destroyed. So one should hold to right living.
Classical view, not medical advice.
कापिल्ये नगरे देवि ब्राह्मणस्तत्र तिष्ठति ॥
In the city of Kapilya, O Goddess, there lived a brahmin. He loved reciting the Vedas. He was rich and worked hard.
तस्य पत्नी वरारोहे पतिसेवासु तत्परा ॥
His wife, O fair one, was devoted to serving her husband. Once, O sinless one, the brahmin's daughter came to visit.
पुत्रेण सह देवेशि चादरस्तेन वै कृतः ॥
She came with her son, O Lady of the gods. The brahmin gave them great honour. After many days his gold was stolen.
