मृगशिरा नक्षत्र तृतीय चरण
वृद्धे जाते तदा देवि दारिद्र्यत्वमजायत ॥शूर्पकारस्य वै द्रव्यं व्यवहारे गृहीतवान् ॥ ४ ॥
O Goddess, when he was old, poverty came. In a business dealing he took money from a maker of winnowing baskets.
Classical view, not medical advice.
शतसंख्यामितं स्वर्णं व्ययं सर्वं कृतं शिवे ॥
O wife of Shiva, he spent all of it, one hundred pieces of gold. The potter died, and his wife had died before him.
नर्मदायां महादेवि तावुभौ मृत्युमापतुः ॥
O Great Goddess, the two died in the Narmada. By the merit of that holy place, both went to heaven.
बहुवर्षसहस्राणि ताभ्यां भुक्तं फलं शुभम् ॥
They enjoyed the good fruit for many thousands of years. Then their merit ran out, and they were born in the world of mortals.
