Chapter 71 · A Bard and an Unwelcomed Guest
अनुराधा नक्षत्र चतुर्थ चरण
आतिथ्यकरणे तस्य चासमर्थस्तदा शिवे ॥उपोषणं कृतं तेन द्वारे बन्दिजनस्य च ॥ ३ ॥
The bard could not then give him a guest's welcome, O Shiva's wife. So the student fasted at the bard's door.
Classical view, not medical advice.
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.
पञ्च पुत्रा वरारोहे घातितास्तस्य च स्त्रिया ॥
The bard's wife killed her five kittens, O lovely one. And the cat, hungry, died then.
ततो बहुतिथे काले तस्य मृत्युरभूत्पुरा ॥
After a long time he died. His faithful wife became a sati (a wife who dies with her husband) at that moment.
