Chapter 89 · A Brahmin Among Outsiders
श्रवण नक्षत्र द्वितीय चरण
॥ शिव उवाच ॥गान्धारदेशे वै शुभ्रे गान्धारस्य पुरे शुभे ॥वसन्ति तत्र बहवो जनाः पुण्योपजीविनः ॥ १ ॥
Shiva said: In the bright land of Gandhara, in the lovely city of Gandhara, many people live. They live by honest, good work.
Classical view, not medical advice.
तन्मध्ये ब्राह्मणोऽप्येको लक्ष्मीवान् गुणवर्जितः ॥
Among them was one brahmin, rich but without good qualities. He was a close friend of the Yavanas (foreigners). He lived with a mleccha (outsider).
ऊर्णादिकं वरारोहे विक्रयं कुरुते सदा ॥
He always sold wool and the like. He ate the food of the mleccha (outsider) every day. He enjoyed the women of the mleccha.
एवं बहु वयो जातं ततो वै मरणं खलु ॥
Many years passed. Then he died. The very terrible messengers of Yama (the god of death) threw him into a most cruel hell.
