Chapter 69 · A Carpenter Who Kept an Ascetic's Money
अनुराधा नक्षत्र द्वितीय चरण
यदा चार्द्धं वयो यातं दरिद्रत्वं तदाऽगमत् ॥गृहीतं यतिनो द्रव्यं शतपञ्चपलं तथा ॥ २ ॥
When half his life had gone, poverty came. He had taken a hundred and five pala (a unit of weight) of money from an ascetic.
Classical view, not medical advice.
व्ययं कृत्वा तदा तेन न दत्तं यतिने शिवे ॥
He spent it and did not give it back to the ascetic, O Shiva's wife. Then the carpenter of Magadha died.
द्वे दत्त्वा कपिले गावौ स्वर्णरौप्यविभूषिते ॥
Two tawny cows adorned with gold and silver were given. His son also did the shraddha (rite for the dead ancestors). He did it at Gaya and other…
यक्षलोकं तदा यातो वर्षं शतसहस्रकम् ॥
He went to the world of the Yakshas (nature spirits) for a hundred thousand years. When his merit ran out, he got a monkey's birth.
