Chapter 66 · A Warrior Who Took Brahmins' Livelihood
विशाखा नक्षत्र तृतीय चरण
तस्य भार्याभवद्वन्ध्या पूर्वजन्मफलाच्छिवे ॥तस्माद्गात्रे भवेद्रोगो दद्रुरर्शादयस्तथा ॥ ६ ॥
His wife was a vandhya (a woman who cannot bear children), from the fruit of his past life. So his body gets disease. It brings ringworm (a skin disease), piles and the like.
Classical view, not medical advice.
न सुखं लभते देवि चिन्तया व्याकुलेन्द्रियः ॥
He finds no peace, his senses troubled by worry. Listen to all of it, O lovely one, for ending the earlier wrong.
दशांशं विभवं देवि ब्राह्मणाय समर्पयेत् ॥
Give one tenth of your wealth to a brahmin. Build step-wells, wells, ponds and the like along the road.
गृहदानं ततो देवि सर्ववस्तुसमन्वितम् ॥
Then give a house with everything in it. Give it to a fine brahmin who knows the Veda.
