चित्रा नक्षत्र तृतीय चरण
रतिदासेति विख्यातो बभूव वस्तुविक्रयी ॥दलाक्षीति समाख्याता तस्य पत्नी च स्वैरिणी ॥२॥
One man was known as Ratidasa, a seller of goods. His wife was named Dalakshi, and she was loose in conduct.
Classical view, not medical advice.
पतिं न पूजयेद्देवि रूपगर्ववशा तथा ॥
O Goddess, she did not honour her husband, led by pride in her looks. He had many buffaloes and cows for selling.
महिषीपुत्रघातं च प्रत्यहं खलु जायते ॥
Every day the young of buffaloes were killed. He always sold goats and killed goats too.
गोप एको महाप्राज्ञो धनार्थी स्वर्णसंयुतः ॥
There was one very wise cowherd, O great Goddess, who wanted wealth and had gold. He was born there and had been the merchant's friend from childhood.
