Chapter 85 · A Brahmin and His Nephew's Jewels
उत्तराषाढा नक्षत्र द्वितीय चरण
॥ शिव उवाच ॥सकेश्वरपुरे देव्यवात्सीच्चैको द्विजो वरः ॥म्लेच्छवाणीं वदन्नित्यं म्लेच्छसेवारतः सदा ॥ १ ॥
Shiva said: In the city of Sakeshvara, O Goddess, there lived one fine brahmin. He always spoke the speech of the mleccha (outsider). He was always happy serving the mleccha.
Classical view, not medical advice.
अतिष्ठन् म्लेच्छानिकटे म्लेच्छविद्यासु पण्डितः ॥
He lived near the mleccha (outsider). He was learned in mleccha knowledge. He always ate fish and meat and drank liquor.
एवं सर्वे वयो जातं धनं बहु सुसंचितम् ॥
So all his years went by. He saved much wealth. He kept that wealth buried in the ground, inside his fine house.
एकस्मिन्समये देवि भ्रातुः पुत्रः समागतः ॥
One day, O Goddess, his brother's son came. He was a dealer in jewels, skilled and clever.
