O wide-eyed one, his wife was Surya, good and faithful. She was able to host guests and was very devoted to the gods.
कार्तिके माघवैशाखे दीपदानं करोति सा ॥
She made lamp offerings in the months of Kartik, Magha and Vaishakha. Once, by chance, she came there on a pilgrimage.
स्वर्णकारो महादेवि बहुस्वर्णेन संयुतः ॥
O great Goddess, a goldsmith with much gold came to the city of Sinhapura and made his home there.
