Chapter 2 · Ashvini and the Four Quarters
अश्विनी नक्षत्र चरण विचारः
ब्रह्मकर्मपरिभ्रष्टो व्याधिभिः पीडितः सदा ॥तस्य मित्रं द्विजोऽप्येको धनपुत्रैश्च संयुतः ॥ ३ ॥
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.
Classical view, not medical advice.
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.
स्वर्णलोभेन तं विप्रं हतवान् पुत्रसंयुतम् ॥
From greed for gold he killed that brahmin together with his son. O Goddess, he spent all the stolen gold, day by day.
षडंशैर्गुप्तदानं च गङ्गायमुनसंगमे ॥
With a sixth part of that wealth he made a secret gift at the meeting of the Ganga and Yamuna. He did it with devotion, and it pleased Vishnu.
