Chapter 72 · A Brahmin Who Found Treasure
ज्येष्ठा नक्षत्र प्रथम चरण
तडागं खानयामास तत्र द्रव्यं च लब्धवान्॥द्रव्यस्यार्थे तदा देवि विग्रहो भ्रातरं प्रति ॥ २ ॥
He had a pond dug, and he found treasure there. Over the treasure there was a quarrel with his brother.
Classical view, not medical advice.
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.
षष्टिवर्षसहस्राणि निक्षिप्तश्च यमाज्ञया ॥
He was thrown there for 60,000 years at the order of Yama (the god of death). After bearing the pain of hell, he became a crow again.
