Chapter 37 · Ashlesha 2nd Pada
आश्लेषा नक्षत्र द्वितीय चरण
॥ शिव उवाच ॥अलर्कस्य पुरे देवि शूद्र एकोऽवसत्पुरा ॥शूद्राचाररतो नित्यं विक्रयं कुरुते सदा ॥ १ ॥
Shiva said: In the city of Alarka, O Goddess, a shudra (servant class) once lived. He was always devoted to the ways of his class, and he always dealt in selling.
Classical view, not medical advice.
गोमहिष्यादिव्यापारैर्व्ययं कुर्याद्दिने दिने ॥
He spent each day on trade in cows, buffaloes and the like. He had many cattle, but they were not looked after.
दुर्लभ इति विख्यातो तत्राज्ञानी सदावसत् ॥
He was known as Durlabha and was always ignorant. Once his herd of cows was standing in the forest, O sinless one.
वृष्टिस्तत्र महाजाता गावश्च पीडिता भृशम् ॥
A great rain fell there, and the cows suffered badly. Many of them died from the rain.
