Chapter 61 · A Brahmin Who Saved and Gave Nothing
स्वाती नक्षत्र द्वितीय चरण
॥ शिव उवाच ॥गङ्गाया दक्षिणे कूले विन्ध्ये च नगरोत्तमे ॥द्विजोऽप्येकोऽवसद्देवि ब्रह्मकर्मविवर्जितः ॥ १ ॥
Shiva said: O Goddess, on the south bank of the Ganga, in the fine city of Vindhya, a brahmin lived. He had left the duties of a brahmin.
Classical view, not medical advice.
अनाचाररतो नित्यं परस्त्रीलम्पटः शठः ॥
He was always badly behaved, fond of other men's wives, and cunning. He did trade in cows, gold, elephants and the like.
बहुद्रव्यमभूत्तस्य त्रिंशत्कोटिप्रमाणकम् ॥
He had wealth of thirty crore (a crore is ten million). He kept saving wealth and gave nothing at all.
स्वभार्यां च परित्यज्य परभार्यारतो द्विजः ॥
The brahmin left his own wife and loved other men's wives. His name in that time was famed as Dhaneshvara.
