ब्रह्मकर्मपरिभ्रष्टो मद्यपानरतः सदा ॥स वेश्यानिरतो नित्यं पत्नी तस्य पतिव्रता ॥ ३ ॥
He had fallen from a brahmin's duties and always loved drinking wine. He was always given to harlots. His wife was faithful to her husband.
Classical view, not medical advice.
पतिभक्तिरता नित्यं देवपूजासु तत्परा ॥
She was always devoted to her husband and busy with worship of the gods. Once, dear one, a brahmin came, hungry and weak.
अन्नं च याचयामास लम्पटं प्रति वत्सले ॥
He asked the lecher for food, loving one. The lecher spoke harsh words to the weak beggar.
आत्मघातः कृतस्तेन दुर्बलब्राह्मणेन च ॥
The weak brahmin killed himself. After a long time the thief died too.
