Chapter 27 · Ardra 4th Pada
आर्द्रा नक्षत्र चतुर्थ चरण
अवन्तीपुरतोऽवात्सीत् शूद्र एको महाधनः ॥विक्रयं क्रियते छागमेषयोर्गृहवासिनोः ॥ २ ॥
A very rich shudra (servant class) lived near the city of Avanti. He sold goats and sheep kept in houses.
Classical view, not medical advice.
गजमश्वं तथा रत्नं वस्त्राणि विविधानि च ॥
He also sold elephants, horses, jewels and many kinds of cloth. Once, O fair-faced one, he saw an eclipse of the Sun.
गोसहस्रं कृतं दानं भार्यया सहितेन वै ॥
With his wife he gave a thousand cows in gift on the Narmada river, O large-eyed one. He gave gold and cloth with them.
तत्रैव चाभवत् पीडा मृत्युलोकसमुद्भवा ॥
There too, a pain of the mortal world came on him. He held a goldsmith's money from a business dealing.
