Chapter 109 · A Brahmin and a Teacher's Images
रेवती नक्षत्र द्वितीय चरण
॥ शिव उवाच ॥श्रीपुरे नगरे देवि द्विज एकोऽवसत्पुरा ॥पुत्रपौत्रयुतो देवि धनधान्यसमन्वितः ॥ १ ॥
Shiva said: In the city of Shripura, O Goddess, a brahmin once lived. He had sons and grandsons, and was rich in wealth and grain.
Classical view, not medical advice.
वैश्यकर्मरतो नित्यं क्रयविक्रयतत्परः ॥
He was always busy with a trader's work, buying and selling. He dealt in she-buffaloes, bulls, cloth, fly-whisks, elephants and horses.
प्रत्यहं विक्रयं कृत्वा कृतश्च धनसंग्रहः ॥
By selling every day he piled up wealth. Once his teacher's son came to his house.
आदरं बहुधा कृत्वा मासे याते ततः शिवे ॥
He honoured him greatly. When a month had passed, O Shiva's wife, the teacher's son went to Haridvar to bathe.
