हस्त नक्षत्र प्रथम चरण
॥ शिव उवाच ॥स्वर्णकारोऽवसद्देवि पुरे भोजकटे तथा ॥स्त्री तस्यासीन्महादुष्टा परपुंसि रता सदा ॥ १ ॥
Shiva said: O Goddess, a goldsmith lived in the city of Bhojakata. His wife was very wicked and always fond of other men.
Classical view, not medical advice.
तद्गृहे वैश्य एकोऽपि ह्यागतो धनसंयुतः ॥
A merchant with wealth came to his house. The goldsmith and the merchant became friends, O Goddess.
व्यापारार्थं गृहीतं तु वैश्यस्वर्णं तदा प्रिये ॥
For trade, dear one, the goldsmith took the merchant's gold. They say he sold a hundred pala (a unit of weight) of it.
स्वर्णकारस्य या पत्नी सुन्दरी कुलटा परा ॥
The goldsmith's wife was beautiful and a loose woman. She gave herself lovingly to the rich merchant.
