मूल नक्षत्र द्वितीय चरण
प्रतिग्रहेण भो देवि व्ययकारी दिने दिने ॥तस्य भ्राता कनिष्ठश्च व्यापारकरणे रतः ॥ ४ ॥
He spent money every day from the gifts he took, O Goddess. His younger brother loved trade.
Classical view, not medical advice.
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.
तद्धनं गृह्य वै स्वर्णं सर्वं पुत्राय दत्तवान् ॥
He took that wealth, all the gold, and gave it to his son. He gave no gifts. Then he died.
