Chapter 40 · A Trader Who Used a Friend's Wealth
मघा नक्षत्र प्रथम चरण
तस्य नाम समाख्यातं मङ्गलं देवि वै शुभम् ॥तस्य पत्नी विशालाक्षी सुन्दरी सुखदायिनी ॥ २ ॥
His name, O Goddess, was Mangala, a lucky name. His wife was large-eyed, beautiful, a giver of comfort.
Classical view, not medical advice.
विष्णुभक्तिरतो नित्यं गुरुब्राह्मणसेवकः ॥
He was always devoted to Vishnu and served his teachers and brahmins. He was firm in good conduct and busy with buying and selling.
एकदा तु गृहे देवि मित्रं तस्य समागतम् ॥
Once, O Goddess, his friend came to his house. He honoured him in many ways and fed him by the rule.
स्वर्णदानं ततो लक्षमुद्रादानं तु तत्प्रिये ॥
Then, dear one, the vaishya gave a gift of gold to a brahmin. He also gave a gift of a lakh (100,000) coins. It was for his own peace.
