Chapter 67 · A Warrior and the Goldsmith's Gold
विशाखा नक्षत्र चतुर्थ चरण
अत्रान्तरे महादेवि स्वर्णकारस्ततो मृतः ॥दष्टः सर्पेण तीव्रेण पुत्रहीनः सुवर्णकृत् ॥५॥
Meanwhile, O Great Goddess, the goldsmith died. A fierce snake bit him, and he had no son.
Classical view, not medical advice.
स्वर्ण सर्वं गृहीत्वा तु प्रभुक्तं क्षत्रियेण तत् ॥
The kshatriya (warrior class) took all the gold and used it. He came to have sons and a wife. Yet he gave none of it to a brahmin.
ततो बहुगते काले तस्य मृत्युरभूत्किल ॥
After a long time he died, O Great Goddess. The kshatriya (warrior class) went to the world of the gods.
सौख्यं सुराङ्गनासार्द्धं षष्टिवर्षप्रमाणकम् ॥
He enjoyed pleasure with heavenly women for sixty years. When his merit ran out, he was born a man on earth.
