Chapter 56 · A Warrior of Gaya and the Buffalo Calves
चित्रा नक्षत्र प्रथम चरण
भुक्त्वा कष्टं विशालाक्षि गर्भत्वं च ततो गतः ॥मध्यदेशे विशालाक्षि नरजन्मा च क्षत्रियः ॥ ६ ॥
After suffering that pain, O wide-eyed one, he went into a womb. He was born as a man in the Middle Country, a kshatriya (warrior class).
Classical view, not medical advice.
पुत्रो न जायते देवि पूर्वपापानुसारतः ॥
No son is born, O Goddess, because of his old sin. The daughter reaches her age and becomes a widow, dear one.
महिषीपुत्रघातेन रोगोत्पत्तिश्च जायते ॥
Illness arises from killing the young of buffaloes. Listen, O fair-faced one, to the merit that ends this sin.
स्ववित्तस्याष्टमं भागं ब्राह्मणाय ददेत वै ॥
He should give an eighth of his own wealth to a brahmin. He should give one black cow with a calf, O Goddess, with horns covered in gold.
