Chapter 58 · A Seller of Goods and a Cowherd's Wealth
चित्रा नक्षत्र तृतीय चरण
गोप एको महाप्राज्ञो धनार्थी स्वर्णसंयुतः ॥तत्र जातो महादेवि वैश्यमित्रं हि बाल्यतः ॥ ५ ॥
There was one very wise cowherd, O great Goddess, who wanted wealth and had gold. He was born there and had been the merchant's friend from childhood.
Classical view, not medical advice.
तस्य गेहे स्थितो देवि धनधान्यसमन्वितः ॥
He stayed in the merchant's house, O Goddess, rich in money and grain. Then the merchant's wife, O Goddess, took up with the cowherd.
एवं बहुगते काले तस्य गोपस्य वै मृतिः ॥
After a long time the cowherd died. His wealth, O great Goddess, stayed in the merchant's house.
वैश्येनैव तु तत्सर्वं धनं तस्य व्ययं कृतम् ॥
The merchant spent all that wealth. Then his whole life passed, and the merchant died.
