Chapter 40 · A Trader Who Used a Friend's Wealth
मघा नक्षत्र प्रथम चरण
विष्णुभक्तिरतो नित्यं गुरुब्राह्मणसेवकः ॥आचारे नियतश्चैव क्रयविक्रयतत्परः ॥ ३ ॥
He was always devoted to Vishnu and served his teachers and brahmins. He was firm in good conduct and busy with buying and selling.
Classical view, not medical advice.
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.
ब्राह्मणेनापि तत्सर्वं स्थापितं तस्य वै गृहे ॥
The brahmin left all of it in the vaishya's house. Then the brahmin went to Varanasi on a pilgrimage, fair one.
