Chapter 56 · A Warrior of Gaya and the Buffalo Calves
चित्रा नक्षत्र प्रथम चरण
॥ शिव उवाच ॥गयापुर्यां महादेवि क्षत्री ह्येकोऽवसत्पुरा ॥कुकर्मणि रतो नित्यं धनाढ्यः कृपणः शठः ॥ १ ॥
Shiva said: O great Goddess, a kshatriya (warrior class) man once lived in the city of Gaya. He was always fond of bad deeds. He was rich, stingy and cunning.
Classical view, not medical advice.
स्त्री भवेच्चञ्चला तस्य द्वौ पुत्रौ च वरानने ॥
His wife was fickle, O fair-faced one. They had two sons. They also had one daughter with wide eyes.
उद्वाहिता तदा देवि कन्यका व्यभिचारिणी ॥
The daughter was married, O Goddess, but she was unfaithful. Every year the father killed buffalo calves, dear one.
अनेनैव प्रकारेण वयः सर्वं क्षयं गतम् ॥
In this way his whole life was spent. Then a snake bit him and he died.
