Chapter 75 · A Weaver and a Sparrow's Nest
ज्येष्ठा नक्षत्र चतुर्थ चरण
॥ शिव उवाच ॥चतुर्भुजाभिधे क्षेत्रे वेणीपश्चिमतः शिवे ॥पट्टकारोऽवसद्देवि लक्ष्मणेति च संज्ञकः ॥ १ ॥
Shiva said: In the holy place called Chaturbhuja, west of Veni, O Goddess, a weaver lived. His name was Lakshmana.
Classical view, not medical advice.
तस्य पत्नी विशालाक्षि परपुंसि रता सदा ॥
His wife, O large-eyed one, was always in love with other men. Many sons were born, and much wealth was gathered.
क्रयविक्रयधर्मेण व्ययकारी दिने दिने ॥
He spent money every day in buying and selling, as his trade. A sparrow made her home in his house.
एकदा समये देवि चाण्डान्साऽसूत तत्र वै ॥
Once, O Goddess, she laid eggs there. She reared many of them until they had wings.
