Chapter 32 · Pushya 1st Pada
पुष्य नक्षत्र प्रथम चरण
पुण्येन जायते विद्या पुण्येन जायते सुतः ॥पुण्येन सुन्दरी नारी पुण्येन लभते श्रियम् ॥ ३ ॥
From merit comes learning. From merit comes a son. From merit comes a beautiful wife. From merit one gets wealth.
Classical view, not medical advice.
अथातः संप्रवक्ष्यामि पुष्यनक्षत्रजं फलम् ॥
Now I will tell the fruit that is born of the Pushya nakshatra (star). Hear all of it, O Goddess, what was done in a past life.
मध्यदेशे वरारोहे धनाढ्यो वल्लवोऽवसत् ॥
In the Middle Country, O fair one, a rich cowherd lived, known as Hamsaketu. His wife was Kekayi.
बहवो वृषभास्तस्य महिष्यो गास्तथा प्रिये ॥
He had many bulls, buffaloes and cows, dear one. A shudra (servant class) keen on religious works, he sold cows, bulls and the like.
