Chapter 52 · A Goldsmith and a Merchant's Gold
हस्त नक्षत्र प्रथम चरण
तद्गृहे वैश्य एकोऽपि ह्यागतो धनसंयुतः ॥तयोः प्रीतिरभूद्देवि स्वर्णकारकवैश्ययोः ॥ २ ॥
A merchant with wealth came to his house. The goldsmith and the merchant became friends, O Goddess.
Classical view, not medical advice.
व्यापारार्थं गृहीतं तु वैश्यस्वर्णं तदा प्रिये ॥
For trade, dear one, the goldsmith took the merchant's gold. They say he sold a hundred pala (a unit of weight) of it.
स्वर्णकारस्य या पत्नी सुन्दरी कुलटा परा ॥
The goldsmith's wife was beautiful and a loose woman. She gave herself lovingly to the rich merchant.
एवं बहुगते काले वैश्यस्य मरणे सति ॥
After many days the merchant died. Later the goldsmith died too, O lovely one.
