Chapter 72 · A Brahmin Who Found Treasure
ज्येष्ठा नक्षत्र प्रथम चरण
॥ शिव उवाच ॥ब्राह्मणो न्यवसच्चैको महाराष्ट्रपुरे शुभे ॥स वेदपाठतत्त्वज्ञो वेदपाठं सदाऽकरोत् ॥ १ ॥
Shiva said: "A brahmin lived in a fair city of Maharashtra. He knew the heart of the Veda and always recited it."
Classical view, not medical advice.
तडागं खानयामास तत्र द्रव्यं च लब्धवान्॥
He had a pond dug, and he found treasure there. Over the treasure there was a quarrel with his brother.
भ्रात्रा तस्य महादेवि द्रव्यार्थं भक्षितं विषम् ॥
For the money, O Great Goddess, his brother ate poison. After a long time he spent all the wealth.
ततश्च पञ्चतां यातो ब्राह्मणश्च सुरेश्वरि ॥
Then the brahmin died, O Goddess of gods. The fearful messengers of Yama (the god of death) took him to a hell of mud, O Goddess.
