Chapter 88 · A Brahmin Who Kept a Friend's Wealth
श्रवण नक्षत्र प्रथम चरण
॥ शिव उवाच ॥पवनस्य महादेशे मारुते नगरे शुभे ॥गौतमो नाम विख्यातो ब्राह्मणो वेदपारगः ॥ १ ॥
Shiva said: In the great land of Pavana, in the lovely city of Maruta, there lived a famous brahmin named Gautama. He knew the Vedas.
Classical view, not medical advice.
तस्य भार्या विशालाक्षि मालिनी मातृपालिनी ॥
His wife, O large-eyed one, was Malini, who looked after his mother. He gathered much wealth. He loved serving the mleccha (outsider).
तस्य मित्रो द्विजः कश्चित् तपस्वी सत्यवाक् शुचिः॥
A friend of his, a brahmin, an ascetic, truthful and pure, came to him. With love he practised austerity there.
अब्दे चैके ततो जाते पुनः काश्यां गतोऽपि सः ॥
After one year he set out again for Kashi. He handed gold and jewels to Gautama, O great Goddess.
