Chapter 48 · A Merchant and the Brahmin's Gold
उत्तराफाल्गुनी नक्षत्र प्रथम चरण
तीर्थयात्राप्रसङ्गेन वाराणस्यां गतः स वै ॥गत्वा काश्यां वरारोहे शरीरं ब्राह्मणोऽत्यजत् ॥ ४ ॥
On a pilgrimage the brahmin went to Varanasi. Having gone to Kashi, O lovely one, the brahmin gave up his body.
Classical view, not medical advice.
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).
ततः पुण्यक्षये जाते मृत्युलोके सुरेश्वरि ॥
Then his good deeds ran out, O queen of the gods, and he came to the world of mortals. He was born as a man in a great and honoured family.
