Chapter 68 · A Greedy Merchant of Kalyana
अनुराधा नक्षत्र प्रथम चरण
तस्य भार्या विशालाक्षी पुंश्चली कुलटाधमा ॥यमौ पुत्रौ वरारोहे पुंश्चल्यां जज्ञिरे तदा ॥ ३ ॥
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.
Classical view, not medical advice.
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.
यमदूतैस्तदा बद्ध्वा निक्षिप्तो नरकार्णवे ॥
The messengers of Yama (the god of death) bound him and threw him into the ocean of hell. Yama, the Sun's son, showed his own form to that merchant.
