Chapter 36 · Ashlesha 1st Pada
आश्लेषा नक्षत्र प्रथम चरण
डिण्डिभेति समाख्यातो गौरी तस्य वरानना ॥बह्वर्थं सञ्चितं तेन न दानमकरोत् क्वचित् ॥ ४ ॥
He was named Dindibha. His wife was Gauri, fair-faced. He saved much wealth. He never gave a gift anywhere.
Classical view, not medical advice.
एकदा दैवयोगेन ब्राह्मणानां निमन्त्रणम् ॥
Once, by chance, he invited brahmins. He fed them and gave them a gift of money.
गामेकां कपिलां दत्त्वा भूपितां स्वपुरोधसे ॥
He gave one tawny cow, decorated, to his own family priest. Then, dear one, a certain brahmin spoke to the shudra.
अहं ग्रामस्य वै पूज्यो मदीया गौः कथं प्रभो ॥
He said: I am the one honoured in the village. How was my cow given to the priest, O lord? I will give up my life on your account.
