Chapter 84 · A Trader Who Wronged His Brother
उत्तराषाढा नक्षत्र प्रथम चरण
॥ शिव उवाच ॥श्वेतपर्वे महातीर्थे रामपुर्यां वरानने ॥कान्यकुब्जोऽवसद्विप्रो व्यापारकरणे रतः ॥ १ ॥
Shiva said: In Shvetaparva, a great holy place, in Ramapuri, O fair-faced one, there lived a brahmin from Kanyakubja. He loved trade.
Classical view, not medical advice.
अश्वादिकं वरारोहे वृषचर्माजिनाम्बरम् ॥
Every day he bought horses and the like, O fair one. He bought bull hides, deer skins and cloth. He always sold them again.
द्यूतवेश्यारतो नित्यं परस्त्रीगमनं तथा ॥
He was always fond of gambling and prostitutes. He also went to other men's wives. He drank liquor. He insulted his teacher and the gods.
एवं बहुगते काले मरणं प्रबभूव ह ॥
Much time passed. Then death came. The messengers of Yama (the god of death) took him and threw him into a most dreadful hell.
