Chapter 71 · A Bard and an Unwelcomed Guest
अनुराधा नक्षत्र चतुर्थ चरण
॥ शिव उवाच ॥बन्दीजनोऽवसच्चैकः सौराष्ट्रविषये शुभे ॥स कविर्भाग्यवान्देवि स्वधर्मनिरतः सदा ॥ १ ॥
Shiva said: "A bard lived in the fair land of Saurashtra. He was a poet and lucky, O Goddess, always firm in his own duty."
Classical view, not medical advice.
तस्य स्त्री सुन्दरी देवि पतिसेवासु तत्परा ॥
His wife was beautiful and keen in serving her husband. One day, O Goddess, a celibate student came.
आतिथ्यकरणे तस्य चासमर्थस्तदा शिवे ॥
The bard could not then give him a guest's welcome, O Shiva's wife. So the student fasted at the bard's door.
प्रभाते स वरारोहे शापं दत्त्वा गतस्तु वै ॥
In the morning he gave a curse and left, O lovely one. Then, by chance, a cat with new kittens was there.
