Chapter 25 · Ardra 2nd Pada
आर्द्रा नक्षत्र द्वितीय चरण
एवमर्द्धं वयो जातं दरिद्रत्वं ततोऽभवत् ॥व्ययार्थं वै ततो देवि विप्रस्वर्णं गृहीतवान् ॥ ३ ॥
Half his life passed in this way, and then poverty came. O Goddess, to meet his costs he took a brahmin's gold.
Classical view, not medical advice.
पलविंशप्रमाणं तद्व्ययं जातं वरानने ॥
It was twenty pala (a unit of weight), O lovely one, and it was spent. Then the merchant died, together with his wife.
स्वर्गं जातं ततो देवि नर्मदामरणादपि ॥
Then, O Goddess, they went to heaven, also because of dying in the Narmada. For sixty thousand years they had the good fruit of heaven.
भुक्तं बहुविधं देवि भार्यया सहितेन वै ॥
O Goddess, the husband enjoyed many kinds of joy together with his wife. When their merit ran out, he became a mortal again.
