Chapter 37 · Ashlesha 2nd Pada
आश्लेषा नक्षत्र द्वितीय चरण
गोमहिष्यादिव्यापारैर्व्ययं कुर्याद्दिने दिने ॥गोधनानि बहून्येव तेषां रक्षा न जायते ॥ २ ॥
He spent each day on trade in cows, buffaloes and the like. He had many cattle, but they were not looked after.
Classical view, not medical advice.
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.
रक्षां शूद्रो नाऽकरोत्स तृणैराच्छादनादिभिः ॥
The shudra (servant class) did not protect them with grass covers and the like. After much time the sinful shudra died.
