Chapter 58 · A Seller of Goods and a Cowherd's Wealth
चित्रा नक्षत्र तृतीय चरण
एवं बहुगते काले तस्य गोपस्य वै मृतिः ॥वैश्यगेहे महादेवि धनं गोपस्य वै खलु ॥ ७ ॥
After a long time the cowherd died. His wealth, O great Goddess, stayed in the merchant's house.
Classical view, not medical advice.
वैश्येनैव तु तत्सर्वं धनं तस्य व्ययं कृतम् ॥
The merchant spent all that wealth. Then his whole life passed, and the merchant died.
गङ्गायां च विशालाक्षि पत्नी तस्य तथा मृता ॥
His wife died in the Ganga, O wide-eyed one. The merchant went to heaven for sixty thousand years.
वैश्यपत्नी ततो देवि कर्दमे नरके गता ॥
Then the merchant's wife went to the hell of mud, O Goddess. She suffered the pains of hell for sixty thousand years.
