His wife was Shatanami, large-eyed and lovely. She too was very keen to honor brahmins, guests and gods.

एकस्मिन् समये देवि हेमकारः समागतः ॥
Once, O Goddess, a goldsmith came. He was rich and carried gold. He stayed in the kshatriya's house.
क्षत्रियाय स्वमित्राय शतं स्वर्णस्य वै पलम् ॥
The goldsmith gave 100 pala (a unit of weight) of gold to his friend, the kshatriya (warrior class). Other gold was also handed over.
अत्रान्तरे महादेवि स्वर्णकारस्ततो मृतः ॥
Meanwhile, O Great Goddess, the goldsmith died. A fierce snake bit him, and he had no son.
