Chapter 57 · A Brahmin of the Sarayu
चित्रा नक्षत्र द्वितीय चरण
मध्यदेशे वरारोहे ब्राह्मणो न्यवसत्प्रिये ॥सरय्वा दक्षिणे कूले कालिकापुरशोभने ॥ २ ॥
Dear one, a brahmin lived in the Middle Country, O fair-hipped one. It was on the south bank of the Sarayu, near a fine town called Kalikapura.
Classical view, not medical advice.
शुभे कालीपुरे तत्र द्विजोऽतिष्ठन्महाशनः ॥
In that fine town of Kalipura the brahmin lived as a big eater. He kept company with thieves. He chased prostitutes and other men's wives.
मद्यपानं विना देवि निद्रा तस्य न जायते ॥
Without wine, O Goddess, he could not sleep. His wife was named Subhava. She was devoted to serving her husband.
प्रत्यहं पूजयेद्देवि स्वपतिं पापकारिणम् ॥
She worshipped her sinful husband every day, O Goddess. Then, after a long time, a tiger killed him.
