Chapter 110 · A Salt-Maker and a Friend's Jewels
रेवती नक्षत्र तृतीय चरण
धनाढ्यो रत्नसंयुक्तस्तत्र वासमकारयत् ॥आदरं बहुसन्मानं कृत्वा मित्रेण वै शिवे ॥ ३ ॥
The friend was rich and carried jewels. He stayed there, and his friend honoured him greatly, O Shiva's wife.
Classical view, not medical advice.
पत्नी शूद्रस्य वै हृष्टा पुंश्चली चपला तु सा ॥
The wife of that shudra (servant class) man was lively, loose and fickle. The friend stayed for one month, O fair one.
मित्रपत्न्या विषं दत्तं ब्राह्मणाय तदा शिवे ॥
Then the friend's wife gave poison to the brahmin, O Shiva's wife. The brahmin did not know it was inside his food.
ब्राह्मणस्याभवन्मृत्युरर्द्धरात्रे गते सति ॥
The brahmin died when half the night had passed. The body was thrown into the river, and the shudra took his wealth.
