Chapter 44 · A Warrior Who Skipped Atonement
पूर्वाफाल्गुनी नक्षत्र प्रथम चरण
॥ शिव उवाच ॥सौराष्ट्रविषये देवि शोभनं नाम वै पुरम् ॥तत्र क्षत्री वसत्येको धनधान्यसमन्वितः ॥ १ ॥
Shiva said: O Goddess, in the land of Saurashtra there is a town called Shobhana. A kshatriya (warrior class) lived there, rich in money and grain.
Classical view, not medical advice.
मोहनेति च विख्यातस्तस्य पत्नी सती शुभा ॥
He was called Mohana. His wife was good and fair. He always did a merchant's work and traded all the time.
व्यापारार्थं ततो देवि वृषभा बहु पालिताः ॥
For trade, O Goddess, he kept many oxen. Two oxen were yoked, dear one, and fell into a well.
मृतौ तौ रात्रिकालेऽपि जगाम स तदा न च ॥
They died in the night, and he did not even go there. In his pride he did not know it was a sin, O lovely one.
