अश्विनी नक्षत्र चरण विचारः
॥ शिव उवाच ॥अथ कर्म प्रवक्ष्यामि यत्कृतं ब्राह्मणादिभिः ॥एको ब्राह्मणवेदज्ञो गुणरूपसमन्वितः ॥ १ ॥

Classical view, not medical advice.
तस्य पत्नी विशालाक्षी पुंश्चली क्षत्रवंशजा ॥
His wife was wide-eyed, unfaithful, born of a warrior family. O Goddess, a son was born of her, named Narahari.
ब्रह्मकर्मपरिभ्रष्टो व्याधिभिः पीडितः सदा ॥
He fell from a brahmin's duties and was always troubled by illness. He had a friend, also a brahmin, who had wealth and sons.
नामतो लग्नशर्मेति निकटे तस्य चागतः ॥
The friend, named Lagnasharma, came to him. Narahari treated him with great respect. He saw the gold and was delighted.
