Chapter 68 · A Greedy Merchant of Kalyana
अनुराधा नक्षत्र प्रथम चरण
॥ शिव उवाच ॥कल्याणनगरे गौरि मायापुर्याः समीपतः ॥वणिग्जनोऽवसत्तत्र धनाढ्यो धनगर्वितः ॥ १ ॥
Shiva said: "O Gauri, near Mayapuri, in the city of Kalyana, a merchant lived. He was rich and proud of his wealth."
Classical view, not medical advice.
क्रयकृत्सर्ववस्तूनां विक्रयं च सदाकरोत् ॥
He bought and sold all kinds of goods, always. Through great greed, the sinner never gave anything.
तस्य भार्या विशालाक्षी पुंश्चली कुलटाधमा ॥
His wife was large-eyed but unfaithful, a wanton woman, the worst of unchaste wives. Twin sons were born to this woman, O lovely one.
एको द्यूतरतः पुत्रो द्वितीयो ब्राह्मणीरतः ॥
One son loved gambling. The second loved brahmin women. The merchant gathered much wealth.
