Chapter 38 · A Garland Maker and Unreturned Gold
आश्लेषा नक्षत्र तृतीय चरण
शूद्रस्तु स्वगृहं प्राप्तो वैश्यः काश्यां समागतः ॥तत्र काश्यां विशालाक्षि मरणं तस्य चाभवत् ॥ ६॥
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.
Classical view, not medical advice.
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.
तदा गन्धर्वनगरे बहुवर्षसहस्रकम् ॥
Then, fair one, he and his wife were in the city of the gandharvas (heavenly singers). They enjoyed the fruit of heaven for many thousand years.
