Chapter 90 · A Brahmin of Kashmir and a Selling Wife
श्रवण नक्षत्र तृतीय चरण
॥ शिव उवाच ॥काश्मीरनगरे देवि ब्राह्मणोऽध्यवसत्पुरा ॥खण्डशर्मेति विख्यातो गङ्गाख्या स्त्री तु कर्कशा ॥ १ ॥
Shiva said: In the city of Kashmir, O Goddess, a brahmin lived long ago. He was famed as Khandasharma. His wife, named Ganga, was harsh.
Classical view, not medical advice.
पतिवाक्यं न साकार्षीद्विक्रयं कुरुते सदा ॥
She did not follow her husband's word. She was always selling things. She sold ghee, oil, curds, buttermilk and jaggery, O Queen of the gods.
अश्वं च वृषभं चैव चामरं धातुवस्तु च ॥
She sold horses, bulls, fly-whisks and metal goods. She sold every day and spent every day.
एवं सर्वं वयो जातं वृद्धे सति वरानने ॥
So his whole life went by. When he grew old, O fair-faced one, that brahmin died, dear Parvati.
