Chapter 36 · Ashlesha 1st Pada
आश्लेषा नक्षत्र प्रथम चरण
अहं ग्रामस्य वै पूज्यो मदीया गौः कथं प्रभो ॥पुरोहिताय दत्तासि प्राणं ते च ददाम्यहम् ॥ ७ ॥
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.
Classical view, not medical advice.
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.
ततो बहुतिथे काले सस्त्रीकः प्रमृतः खलः ॥
After a long time the wicked man died with his wife. Then, in the ripening of his deeds, his fall came.
