पुनर्वसु नक्षत्र प्रथम चरण
प्रत्यहं च परान्नेन भोजनं कुरुते स तु ॥यदा वृद्धत्वमायातः पुरीं चैव तदात्यजत् ॥ ८ ॥
Every day he ate food given by others. When he grew old, he left the city.
Classical view, not medical advice.
आगतो मित्रपार्श्वं वै वसन्ते वै पुरे शुभे ॥
He came to his friend in the good town of Vasanta. The cowherd himself gave him a place to live in his house, out of friendship. (Our text is…
बहुकालमवात्सीत्स तत्प्रीत्या सुरसुन्दरि ॥
He lived there a long time out of that friendship, O lovely goddess. Then, O Goddess, the cowherd saw the gold and was thrilled.
तस्य स्वर्णं समाहृत्य स्वगृहे स्थापितं तदा ॥
He took the brahmin's gold and hid it in his own house then. The brahmin suffered much, grieving for his wealth.
