Chapter 68 · A Greedy Merchant of Kalyana
अनुराधा नक्षत्र प्रथम चरण
क्रयकृत्सर्ववस्तूनां विक्रयं च सदाकरोत् ॥महालोभवशाद्देवि न दत्तं पापिना क्वचित् ॥ २ ॥
He bought and sold all kinds of goods, always. Through great greed, the sinner never gave anything.
Classical view, not medical advice.
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.
प्रत्यहं भुज्यते छागविक्रयं कुरुते सदा ॥
He ate every day and always sold goats. When he was old, O Great Goddess, the merchant died.
