Chapter 49 · A Goldsmith and the Brahmin's Garland
उत्तराफाल्गुनी नक्षत्र द्वितीय चरण
ब्राह्मणस्तस्य वै मित्रं धनाढ्यो वेदवर्जितः ॥तेन विप्रेण भो देवि स्वर्णं दत्तं शतं पलम् ॥ २ ॥
A brahmin was his friend, rich but without the Veda. O Goddess, that brahmin gave him a hundred pala (a unit of weight) of gold.
Classical view, not medical advice.
स्वर्णकाराय मित्राय माल्यार्थं च विचक्षणः ॥
The wise brahmin gave the gold to his friend the goldsmith to make a garland. The goldsmith did not give the fine garland to the brahmin, O…
ब्राह्मणस्याभवन्मृत्युः किंचित्काले गते सति ॥
After a little time the brahmin died. The goldsmith, with his sons and wife, used that gold as he pleased.
ततो बहुगते काले स्वर्णकारस्य वै शिवे ॥
Then, after much time had passed, O Parvati, the goldsmith died. He had sons and a wife.
