Chapter 23 · Mrigashira 4th Pada
मृगशिरा नक्षत्र चतुर्थ चरण
वसत्येको हि देवेशि ब्राह्मणो वेदपारगः ॥किशोरशर्मा विख्यातो मृतगेहे प्रभुज्यते ॥ ३ ॥
O Queen of the gods, one brahmin lived there, a master of the Vedas, known as Kishoresharma. He ate in houses where someone had died.
Classical view, not medical advice.
कष्टेनैव महादेवि व्ययं कुर्याद्दिने दिने ॥
O Great Goddess, he spent money only with pain, day by day. He gathered much wealth in many ways, but did no good works.
ततो भ्रातुः कनिष्ठस्य भागं नैव ददौ च सः ॥
Then he did not give his younger brother his share. He had stored wealth of three koti (a koti is ten million) in his house.
द्रव्यस्यैव विभागाय मरणं ब्राह्मणोपरि ॥
To get his share of the wealth, the younger brother gave up his life against the brahmin. Still the brahmin did not give him the wealth.
