Chapter 40 · A Trader Who Used a Friend's Wealth
मघा नक्षत्र प्रथम चरण
ब्राह्मणेनापि तत्सर्वं स्थापितं तस्य वै गृहे ॥ततोऽगात्तीर्थयात्रार्थं वाराणस्यां वरानने ॥ ६ ॥
The brahmin left all of it in the vaishya's house. Then the brahmin went to Varanasi on a pilgrimage, fair one.
Classical view, not medical advice.
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.
पुत्रदारैश्च संयुक्तस्तस्य द्रव्यं तदा प्रिये ॥
Then, with his sons and wife, dear one, he used up all of the brahmin's wealth. He used up even his own gift, which gives merit.
वृद्धत्वे च पुनर्जाते तस्य मृत्युरभूत्किल ॥
When he grew old, his death came. Because he died in Ayodhya, he then lived in heaven.
