Chapter 62 · A Cowherd of Kurukshetra
स्वाती नक्षत्र तृतीय चरण
॥ शिव उवाच ॥कुरुक्षेत्रे महातीर्थे वल्लवो न्यवसत्प्रिये ॥कृषिकर्मरतो नित्यं क्रयविक्रयतत्परः ॥ १ ॥
Shiva said: Dear one, a cowherd lived at the great holy place Kurukshetra. He loved farm work and was busy in buying and selling.
Classical view, not medical advice.
महिषीगोवृषाणां च संग्रहं चाकरोद्बहु ॥
He kept many buffaloes, cows and bulls. His wife, O fair-hipped one, always loved other men.
स्वपतिं तर्जयेन्नित्यं सदा निष्ठुरभाषणात् ॥
She always scolded her husband with harsh words. He saved much wealth and never gave a gift.
एकस्मिन् दिवसे देवि चन्द्रपर्वणि शोभने ॥
One day, O Goddess, on a fine holy day of the moon, he gave ten cows as a gift. He did it at the holy place.
