Chapter 85 · A Brahmin and His Nephew's Jewels
उत्तराषाढा नक्षत्र द्वितीय चरण
ततो गेहस्थितो नित्यं रत्नं बहु सुसंचितम् ॥रत्नलोभेन भो देवि रात्रौ क्षुरिकया तदा ॥ ५ ॥
The nephew then stayed in the house all the time. He had gathered many jewels. Out of greed for the jewels, O Goddess, the brahmin took a razor at night,
Classical view, not medical advice.
कृत्वा शिरच्छेदनं च सुप्तं निशि ममार तम् ॥
cut off the head of the sleeping man, and killed him. He buried all that heap of jewels in the ground.
भ्रातृजस्य धनं गृह्य व्ययं कृत्वा दिने दिने ॥
He took his brother's son's wealth and spent it day by day. After many days the brahmin died first.
पश्चात्पत्नी मृता तस्य तौ गतौ नरकार्णवे ॥
Later his wife died. The two of them went to the ocean of hell. They were tormented with great pain for sixty thousand years.
