Chapter 38 · A Garland Maker and Unreturned Gold
आश्लेषा नक्षत्र तृतीय चरण
स्वयं गतः स वैश्येन सार्धं वेण्यां तदा प्रिये ॥माघे नियमतः स्नानं कृते ताभ्यां यथाविधि ॥ ५ ॥
Then, dear one, he himself went with the vaishya to Veni, where the rivers meet. There the two bathed by the rule in the month of Magha, as a fixed practice.
Classical view, not medical advice.
शूद्रस्तु स्वगृहं प्राप्तो वैश्यः काश्यां समागतः ॥
The shudra (servant class), the garland maker, came back to his own house. The vaishya came to Kashi. There in Kashi, O large-eyed one, he died.
अविमुक्ते महातीर्थे देवदानवपूजिते ॥
He died in Avimukta, the great holy place honoured by gods and demons. He came to my side. This was by the power of that holy land.
मालाकारस्तु तत्स्वर्णं भुक्त्वा पुत्रस्त्रिया युतः ॥
The garland maker lived on that gold with his sons and wife. After many years his death came.
