Chapter 40 · A Trader Who Used a Friend's Wealth
मघा नक्षत्र प्रथम चरण
एकदा तु गृहे देवि मित्रं तस्य समागतम् ॥आदरं बहुधा कृत्वा भोजयामास शास्त्रतः ॥ ४ ॥
Once, O Goddess, his friend came to his house. He honoured him in many ways and fed him by the rule.
Classical view, not medical advice.
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.
तस्य मृत्युरभूद्देवि काश्यां चैव स्वकर्मतः ॥
The brahmin died in Kashi, O Goddess, by his own karma. After much time the vaishya was pressed by poverty.
