Chapter 70 · A Brahmin of Sukarma
अनुराधा नक्षत्र तृतीय चरण
॥ शिव उवाच ॥सुकर्मनगरं ख्यातं सौराष्ट्रविषये शुभे ॥तत्रातिष्ठत्खलो विप्रो ब्रह्मकर्मविवर्जितः ॥ १ ॥
Shiva said: "The city of Sukarma is famed in the fair land of Saurashtra. A wicked brahmin lived there, cut off from a brahmin's duties."
Classical view, not medical advice.
विक्रेता सर्ववस्तूनां गोवाजिकारिणां तथा ॥
He sold all goods, and cows, horses and elephants too. When he saw that the king had died, he set the village on fire.
ब्राह्मणा बहवस्तत्र ब्राह्मण्यश्च तथा शिवे ॥
Many brahmins and brahmin women died there, O Shiva's wife, in the burning of the village. Many cows also died.
ततो बहुतिथे काले मृतः सोऽपि द्विजाधमः ॥
After a long time that lowest of brahmins died too. Then a messenger of Yama (the god of death) took him to a hell of dreadful mud.
