पूर्वाफाल्गुनी नक्षत्र तृतीय चरण
तस्य भार्या विशालाक्षि सूर्यानाम्नी शुभा सती ॥आतिथ्यकरणे शक्ता देवतात्यन्तपूजिका ॥ २ ॥
O wide-eyed one, his wife was Surya, good and faithful. She was able to host guests and was very devoted to the gods.
Classical view, not medical advice.
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.
प्रीतिः परस्परं चैव कायस्थस्वर्णकारयोः ॥
The kayastha (clerk caste) and the goldsmith became close friends. The goldsmith had one daughter, beautiful, with a face like a lotus.
