Chapter 5 · Ashvini 3rd Pada
अश्विनी नक्षत्र तृतीय चरण
मृगं हत्वा वरारोहे जग्मतुर्गहने वने ॥मांसस्य देवि भागार्थं कलहो हि महानभूत् ॥ ५ ॥
Having killed a deer, O fair one, they went into a deep forest. A great quarrel arose over a share of the meat.
Classical view, not medical advice.
ततः स ब्राह्मणो दुष्टः क्रोधेनैवापि च द्विषन् ॥
Then the wicked brahmin turned hateful in anger. O Goddess, his death came about in the deep forest.
ततश्चिन्तापरीतात्मा राजपुत्रो गृहं ययौ ॥
Then the king's son went home, his mind full of worry. At home he had the brahmin's rites done by the rule.
ततो बहुगते काले प्रयागे मकरे मुदा ॥
After a long time he gladly gave up his body, together with his wife. It was at Prayaga, in Makara (when the Sun is in Capricorn).
