Chapter 60 · A King Who Sheltered His Son
स्वाती नक्षत्र प्रथम चरण
रुद्रधर्मेति विख्यातो भार्या तस्य प्रभावती ॥एकस्मिन् दिवसे देवि ब्राह्मणो भयपीडितः ॥ २ ॥
He was known as Rudradharma. His wife was Prabhavati. One day, O Goddess, a brahmin came, struck by fear.
Classical view, not medical advice.
शरणं श्रावयामास शरणार्थी द्विजोत्तमः ॥
The best of brahmins sought shelter and asked for protection. His wife, O great Goddess, was very beautiful.
राजपुत्रेण तस्यां तु गमनं मुग्धतः कृतम् ॥
The king's son went to her, out of infatuation. Held by love for his son, the king gave him shelter.
एतं बहुगते काले नृपस्य मरणं यदा ॥
After a long time the king died. Then by the order of Yama (the god of death), his messengers threw him into the mud of hell.
