Chapter 28 · Punarvasu 1st Pada
पुनर्वसु नक्षत्र प्रथम चरण
आगतो मित्रपार्श्वं वै वसन्ते वै पुरे शुभे ॥आभीरेण गृहे वासं मित्रत्वाद्दत्तवान् स्वयम् ॥ ९ ॥
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 unclear here: the word for 'gave' is faint in print.)
Classical view, not medical advice.
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.
महाशोकसमायुक्तः काश्यां चैव समागतः ॥
Full of great grief, the brahmin came to Kashi. There he gave up his body, in sorrow for his gold.
