Chapter 90 · A Brahmin of Kashmir and a Selling Wife
श्रवण नक्षत्र तृतीय चरण
पतिवाक्यं न साकार्षीद्विक्रयं कुरुते सदा ॥घृततैलं च देवेशि दधि तक्रं पुनर्गुडम् ॥ २ ॥
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.
Classical view, not medical advice.
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.
धर्मराजाज्ञया दूतैर्नरके कर्दमे तथा ॥
By the order of Yama (the god of death), his messengers threw him into a hell of mud. He suffered the torments there for sixty thousand years.
