Chapter 30 · Punarvasu 3rd Pada
पुनर्वसु नक्षत्र तृतीय चरण
नापितेन ततो देवि वैश्यो धनसमन्वितः ॥अर्द्धरात्रे गते काले ततः खड्गेन वै हतः ॥ ४ ॥
Then, O Goddess, at midnight the barber killed that rich merchant with a sword.
Classical view, not medical advice.
द्रव्यं सर्वं गृहीत्वा तु तां पुरीं च ततस्त्यजन् ॥
He took all the wealth and left that city. He spent all the gold and gave nothing anywhere.
एकदा समये देवि नापितेन सह स्त्रिया ॥
Once, O Goddess, the barber and his wife were at Prayaga. It was the month of Makara, and they stayed a whole month without a break.
प्रत्यहं क्रियते स्नानं प्रातःकाले सदाशिवे ॥
Every day at dawn, O ever-auspicious one, he bathed. He also gave a gift of a cow and a bull decorated with gold.
