Chapter 36 · Ashlesha 1st Pada
आश्लेषा नक्षत्र प्रथम चरण
गामेकां कपिलां दत्त्वा भूपितां स्वपुरोधसे ॥ब्राह्मणोऽकथयत् कश्चित् शूद्रं प्रति तदा प्रिये ॥६॥
He gave one tawny cow, decorated, to his own family priest. Then, dear one, a certain brahmin spoke to the shudra.
Classical view, not medical advice.
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.
तदा क्रोधेन महता स शूद्रोऽताडयद्द्विजम् ॥
Then, in great anger, the shudra (servant class) struck the brahmin. The brahmin died by his hand, fair-faced one.
