आश्लेषा नक्षत्र प्रथम चरण
एकदा दैवयोगेन ब्राह्मणानां निमन्त्रणम् ॥भोजनं प्रददौ कृत्वा दक्षिणां वै समर्पयेत् ॥ ५ ॥
Once, by chance, he invited brahmins. He fed them and gave them a gift of money.
Classical view, not medical advice.
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.
इति श्रुत्वा वचस्तस्य सोऽवदद्ब्राह्मणं प्रति ॥
Hearing his words, the low man answered the brahmin. He was in great anger, O Goddess.
