Chapter 46 · A Clerk Who Took a Goldsmith's Wealth
पूर्वाफाल्गुनी नक्षत्र तृतीय चरण
कार्तिके माघवैशाखे दीपदानं करोति सा ॥कदाचिद्दैवयोगेन तीर्थयात्रार्थमागता ॥ ३ ॥
She made lamp offerings in the months of Kartik, Magha and Vaishakha. Once, by chance, she came there on a pilgrimage.
Classical view, not medical advice.
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.
कायस्थस्याभवद्भार्या दैवयोगात्तदा शिवे ॥
By chance, O Parvati, she became the kayastha's wife. He took away all the wealth the goldsmith had.
