Chapter 46 · A Clerk Who Took a Goldsmith's Wealth
पूर्वाफाल्गुनी नक्षत्र तृतीय चरण
प्रीतिः परस्परं चैव कायस्थस्वर्णकारयोः ॥स्वर्णकारस्य कन्यैका सुन्दरी कमलानना ॥ ५ ॥
The kayastha (clerk caste) and the goldsmith became close friends. The goldsmith had one daughter, beautiful, with a face like a lotus.
Classical view, not medical advice.
कायस्थस्याभवद्भार्या दैवयोगात्तदा शिवे ॥
By chance, O Parvati, she became the kayastha's wife. He took away all the wealth the goldsmith had.
द्रव्यक्षयमथो ज्ञात्वा स्वर्णकारो मृतः पुरा ॥
Learning that his wealth was gone, the goldsmith died. Then the kayastha, O Parvati, left his sons, wife and the rest.
तया सार्द्धं रमत्येको पापात्मा कमलानने ॥
O lotus-faced one, the sinful man took his pleasure with her alone. After much time had passed, dear one, the kayastha died too.
