कृत्तिका नक्षत्र चतुर्थ चरण
॥ शिव उवाच ॥कान्यकुब्जो द्विजः कश्चिन्नर्मदादक्षिणे तटे ॥माहिष्मत्यां वसत्येको द्विजः परमवैष्णवः ॥ १ ॥
Shiva said: A brahmin of Kanyakubja lived on the south bank of the Narmada at Mahishmati. He was a brahmin and a great devotee of Vishnu.
Classical view, not medical advice.
नामतो योधशर्मेति तस्य भार्या तु दानवी ॥
His name was Yodhasharma. His wife was like a demoness. Every day he did a merchant's work and always sold goods.
तत्र वैश्य उवासैको धनधान्यसमन्वितः ॥
A merchant lived there with wealth and grain. That brahmin took much gold from the merchant as a loan.
ततो बहुतिथे काले स विप्रो मृत्युमागतः ॥
After a long time that brahmin died. He did not repay the loan to the merchant, who lived by his own work.
