Chapter 13 · Krittika 2nd Pada
कृत्तिका नक्षत्र द्वितीय चरण
अथ वक्ष्याम्यहं देवि नक्षत्रे कृत्तिकाह्वये ॥द्वितीयचरणे देवि पूर्वं यत् फलमुच्यते ॥ ५ ॥
Now I tell, O Goddess, of the star called Krittika, in its second charana (quarter of a star). I tell the result that comes from the past.
Classical view, not medical advice.
कान्यकुब्जो द्विजः कश्चिदिन्द्रशर्मेति नामतः ॥
A brahmin of Kanyakubja was named Indrasharma. His wife was Rudramati, O Goddess, of bad conduct and fond of quarrels.
वेदपाठरतो नित्यं षडङ्गस्य च पाठकः ॥
He was always busy with Vedic recitation and read the six limbs of the Veda. Once in that land a warrior king,
मरणे तस्य वै याते तद्विप्रस्य निमन्त्रणम् ॥
a ruler of men, died. That brahmin was invited. He ate then, O Goddess, at the death rites of the warrior.
