Chapter 47 · A Brahmin Teacher on the Narmada
पूर्वाफाल्गुनी नक्षत्र चतुर्थ चरण
शंकरस्य पुरे देवि प्रत्यहं वेदपाठनम् ॥अर्भकान्ब्रह्मजातीयान्पाठयामास वै तदा ॥ २ ॥
O Goddess, every day in Shiva's town he taught the Veda. He taught young boys of the brahmin class.
Classical view, not medical advice.
तस्य भार्याद्वयं चासीदेका प्रीतिमती सदा ॥
He had two wives. One was always loving. The other was hostile. That was the elder wife, and he left her.
एवं बहुगते काले ब्राह्मणस्य तदा शिवे ॥
Much time passed for the brahmin in this way, O Parvati. Then he fell into the power of death. His dearest wife,
चितां कृत्वा प्रयत्नेन भर्तुः खलु वरानने ॥
with care, built the funeral fire for her husband, O lovely one. O Goddess, the wise woman became a sati (a wife who dies with her husband) with him.
