Chapter 75 · A Weaver and a Sparrow's Nest
ज्येष्ठा नक्षत्र चतुर्थ चरण
फलं गृह्य सदा पक्षी मध्याह्ने बालकान्प्रति ॥भोजनं प्रददौ नित्यं स्वकुलाय तदा शिवे ॥ ५ ॥
Every day at noon, O Goddess, the bird brought fruit. She always gave food to her young in her own nest.
Classical view, not medical advice.
ततस्तु दैवयोगेन पट्टकारस्तु तद्गृहे ॥
Then, by chance of fate, the weaver came into that house to eat, O Goddess. His wife gave him food then.
भुक्तं च विविधं चान्नं तत्क्षणे पक्षिशालकाः ॥
While he ate many kinds of food, at that moment the young birds dropped dung. Seeing it, the weaver was angry. (Our text is unclear here: the word…
कुलं तस्याकरोन्नष्टं बालानां हननेन सः ॥
He destroyed her brood by killing the young ones. Much time went by for the weaver, O good-vowed one.
