Chapter 111 · A Warrior and a Land Gift
रेवती नक्षत्र चतुर्थ चरण
विप्राय प्रददौ भूमिं गिरिजे विग्रहे सति ॥ततो बहुदिने जाते दण्डस्तस्माच्च याचितः ॥ ३ ॥
In a time of war, O Girija, he gave land to the brahmin. After many days he asked the brahmin for a levy.
Classical view, not medical advice.
ब्राह्मणोऽथावदद्देवि नाहं दण्ड्यः कदाचन ॥
The brahmin said, O Goddess, "I can never be fined." Then the kshatriya, filled with anger, turned on the brahmin.
दुर्वचश्चावदद्देवि ब्राह्मणं साधुसंमतम् ॥
O Goddess, he spoke harsh words to the brahmin, whom good people respected. The brahmin died, O Shiva's wife, over that piece of land.
ततो बहुगते वर्षे मरणं क्षत्रियस्य तु ॥
After many years the kshatriya (a man of the warrior class) died. The very terrible messengers of Yama (the god of death) took him to a cruel hell.
