Chapter 20 · Mrigashira 1st Pada
मृगशिरा नक्षत्र प्रथम चरण
मध्यदेशे पुरे शुभ्रे वसत्येको द्विजः खलु ॥ब्रह्मकर्मरतो नित्यं वेदवेदाङ्गपारगः ॥ २ ॥
In a bright city in the Middle Country lived one brahmin. He always loved the work of a brahmin. He was a master of the Vedas and their limbs.
Classical view, not medical advice.
प्रत्यहं पाठयामास चतुर्वेदान्तविस्तरान् ॥
Each day he taught the four Vedas, in full. The brahmin was known as Vedasharma. His wife was Sushilaka.
प्रत्यहं पाठयेद्वेदं जीविकार्थं वरानने ॥
O lovely one, he taught the Veda each day for his living. A blacksmith died in that city.
न दत्तं तस्य वै स्वर्णं लोहकारस्य संस्थितम् ॥
He did not give back the gold the blacksmith had left with him. O Goddess, he lived off that gold every day with his wife.
