Chapter 73 · A Blacksmith of Pattana
ज्येष्ठा नक्षत्र द्वितीय चरण
॥ शिव उवाच ॥पट्टने वै पुरे शुभ्रे लोहकारोऽवसत्पुरा ॥गोवर्धनाभिधः पत्नीयुक्तोऽभूत्परमेश्वरि ॥ १ ॥
Shiva said: "In a bright city called Pattana, a blacksmith lived long ago. He was named Govardhana, O Supreme Goddess, and had a wife."
Classical view, not medical advice.
धनधान्यसमायुक्तो धर्मकर्मरतस्तथा ॥
He was rich in wealth and grain and given to good deeds. Two sons were born to the blacksmith, O Parvati.
ज्येष्ठपुत्रश्च भो देवि भार्यया सह तेन वै ॥
The blacksmith drove the elder son from the house with his wife, O Goddess. Nothing was given to him.
एको गृहे स्थितः पुत्रो द्रव्यं तस्मै प्रदत्तवान् ॥
The one son who stayed at home was given the wealth, O Goddess. The blacksmith left his own wife, who had her son with her.
