पुत्रद्वयं तथा जातं विद्यावृत्तिर्बभूव सः ॥
Two sons were born, and he lived by his learning. Then, O Goddess, his sister's son came to Dhaneshvara Sharma.
तत्र वासार्थमायातः सपत्नीको वरानने ॥
He came to live there with his wife, O fair-faced one. On the occasion of a pilgrimage, the brahmin stayed in his house.
मासमेकं स्थितस्तत्र भागिनेयस्ततो मृतः ॥
The sister's son stayed there one month, and then he died. O Goddess, the brahmin was bitten by a snake, wrapped in the noose of Time.
