अवन्तीपुरतो देवि दक्षिणे क्रोशपञ्चके ॥
O Goddess, south of Avanti, five krosha (a measure of distance) away, is a famous, lovely city named Keshava.
वसत्येको हि देवेशि ब्राह्मणो वेदपारगः ॥
O Queen of the gods, one brahmin lived there, a master of the Vedas, known as Kishoresharma. He ate in houses where someone had died.
कष्टेनैव महादेवि व्ययं कुर्याद्दिने दिने ॥
O Great Goddess, he spent money only with pain, day by day. He gathered much wealth in many ways, but did no good works.
