ज्येष्ठा नक्षत्र द्वितीय चरण
धनधान्यसमायुक्तो धर्मकर्मरतस्तथा ॥तस्य पुत्रद्वयं जातं लोहकारस्य पार्वति ॥ २ ॥
He was rich in wealth and grain and given to good deeds. Two sons were born to the blacksmith, O Parvati.
Classical view, not medical advice.
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.
त्यक्ता चैव महादेवि गोपालस्य तु कन्यका ॥
He made a cowherd's daughter his wife, O Great Goddess. So he abandoned his wife.
