Chapter 48 · A Merchant and the Brahmin's Gold
उत्तराफाल्गुनी नक्षत्र प्रथम चरण
कश्चिन्मित्रं प्रियस्तस्य ब्राह्मणो वेदपारगः ॥प्रत्यहं निकटे तस्य बहु स्वर्णमुपार्जयेत् ॥ब्राह्मणोऽप्यात्मनः स्वर्णं ददौ वैश्याय वै शिवे ॥ ३ ॥
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, O Parvati.
Classical view, not medical advice.
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.
सर्वं वैश्येन तद्द्रव्यं भुक्तं बहुदिनोपरि ॥
The merchant enjoyed all that wealth for many days. Because he gave up his body with his wife in a holy place, O Goddess,
अयोध्यायां विशालाक्षि स्वर्गवासं तथाक्षयम् ॥
in Ayodhya, O wide-eyed one, he lived in heaven, a home that does not run out. He enjoyed its lovely fruit for fifteen yugas (ages).
