Chapter 26 · Ardra 3rd Pada
आर्द्रा नक्षत्र तृतीय चरण
॥ शिव उवाच ॥अवन्तीनगरी नाम्ना ततः क्रोशद्वयोपरि ॥अग्निकोणे महादेवि मङ्गलं नाम वै पुरम् ॥ १ ॥
Shiva said: O Great Goddess, there is a town named Mangala. It is two krosha (a measure of distance) beyond the city of Avanti, to the south-east.
Classical view, not medical advice.
तस्मिन् ग्रामे वसत्येको ब्राह्मणो द्यूततत्परः ॥
One brahmin lives in that village. He is devoted to gambling. Many other excellent brahmins live there too.
मद्यपानरतो नित्यं चौरविद्यासु तत्परः ॥
O Goddess, he is always devoted to drinking and to the arts of thieves. He lusts after other men's wives and is always fond of harlots.
प्रत्यहं स च भो देवि द्विजरूपो नराधमः ॥
O Goddess, every day he looks like a brahmin but is the lowest of men. He gets wealth by theft and never gives a gift.
