Chapter 85 · A Brahmin and His Nephew's Jewels
उत्तराषाढा नक्षत्र द्वितीय चरण
नरकान्निःसृतौ द्वौ तु गजयोनी बभूवतुः ॥पुनः कच्छपयोनी वै गोधायोनी बभूवतुः ॥ ९ ॥

सुशीलः सुमतिर्दक्षः स्वल्पविद्यायुतो नरः ॥
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.
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.
