Chapter 85 · A Brahmin and His Nephew's Jewels
उत्तराषाढा नक्षत्र द्वितीय चरण
सुशीलः सुमतिर्दक्षः स्वल्पविद्यायुतो नरः ॥अपुत्रो रोगवान् देवि भूपतिर्नरपूजितः ॥ ११ ॥
He is good-natured, wise and clever, with a little learning. He has no son and is ill, O Goddess. He is a king, honoured by people.
Classical view, not medical advice.
पूर्वजन्मनि देवेशि भ्रातृपुत्रवधः कृतः ॥
In an earlier birth, O Goddess, he killed his brother's son. It was at night. For that fault he has no son.
म्लेच्छस्य सेवनाद्देवि म्लेच्छस्याशुचिभाषणात् ॥
He served the mleccha (outsider), O Goddess, and spoke the mleccha's unclean speech. For that wrong, illness arises in his body.
यत्तु दानं कृतं पूर्वं दत्ता शय्या सुरेश्वरि ॥
Earlier he had given gifts and had given a bed, O Goddess. By the fruit of that he became rich.
