धनधान्यसमायुक्तो विप्रसेवासु तत्परः ॥
He was rich in money and grain and keen to serve brahmins. His wife, O lovely one, was beautiful and faithful to her husband.
कश्चिन्मित्रं प्रियस्तस्य ब्राह्मणो वेदपारगः ॥
He had a dear friend, a brahmin who knew the Veda. Every day, near him, the brahmin earned much gold. The brahmin gave his own gold to the merchant…
तीर्थयात्राप्रसङ्गेन वाराणस्यां गतः स वै ॥
On a pilgrimage the brahmin went to Varanasi. Having gone to Kashi, O lovely one, the brahmin gave up his body.
