Chapter 77 · A Priest and His Brother's Share
मूल नक्षत्र द्वितीय चरण
तत्र वासोऽभवद्देवि ज्ञानिनस्तस्य कामिनि ॥स पुरोधा महादेवि धनाढ्यः कृपणस्तथा ॥ ३ ॥
That learned man lived there, dear one. He was a family priest, O great Goddess, rich but stingy.
Classical view, not medical advice.
प्रतिग्रहेण भो देवि व्ययकारी दिने दिने ॥
He spent money every day from the gifts he took, O Goddess. His younger brother loved trade.
उभौ द्वौ ब्राह्मणौ देवि शान्तिमन्तौ परस्परम् ॥
The two brahmins were peaceful with each other, O Goddess. After much time had passed, enmity arose between them, O Shiva's wife.
स्वधनस्य विभागार्थं युद्धं जातं सुदारुणम् ॥
A terrible fight broke out over dividing their wealth. On that account, O Goddess, the younger brother died.
