Chapter 79 · A Salt-Maker and His Wife
मूल नक्षत्र चतुर्थ चरण
प्रत्यहं लवणं कृत्वा विक्रयं चाकरोत्सदा ॥तस्य भार्या पुण्यवती पुत्रत्रयमजीजनत् ॥ २ ॥
Every day he made salt and sold it. His wife was virtuous, and she bore three sons.
Classical view, not medical advice.
धनधान्यवृषच्छागगोमहिष्यादिकं तथा ॥
Wealth, grain, bulls, goats, cows, buffaloes and the like, much was gathered in the salt-maker's house, dear one.
तस्य ज्येष्ठः सुतो देवि वेश्यासुरततत्परः ॥
His eldest son, O Goddess, was given to prostitutes and love-making. Once, O Goddess, at nightfall, at the salt sea,
स्त्रिया सहाद्रितनये वृषभौ पतितौ तदा ॥
two bulls fell in along with a woman, O daughter of the mountain. He heard of it there then, O Goddess, but he did not go at night.
