Chapter 8 · Bharani 1st Pada
भरणी नक्षत्र प्रथम चरण
॥ शिव उवाच ॥भरण्याः प्रथमे पादे नीलकण्ठोऽभवद्द्विजः ॥ब्रह्मकर्मपरिभ्रष्टः काकुत्स्थनगरे शुभे ॥ १ ॥
Shiva said: In the first charana (quarter of a star) of Bharani, there was a brahmin named Nilakantha. He had fallen from a brahmin's duties. This was in the good town of Kakutstha.
Classical view, not medical advice.
वैश्येन सह मित्रत्वं क्रय्यं कृत्वा दिने दिने ॥
He made friends with a merchant and traded with him day after day. An old brahmin woman lived there. She had no husband or son.
तस्या द्रव्यं गृहीतं च विक्रयार्थं द्विजेन तु ॥
The brahmin took her goods to sell them. Much time passed. He did not give her the money.
एवं बहुतिथे काले तस्य मृत्युरजायत ॥
After a long time he died. For falling from a brahmin's duties, dear one, he fell into hell.
