Chapter 76 · A Clerk and a Brahmin's Gold
मूल नक्षत्र प्रथम चरण
कायस्थस्य गृहे तत्तु स्थापितं ब्राह्मणेन वै ॥वाराणस्यां गतो देवि स्नानार्थं स द्विजोत्तमः ॥ ५ ॥
The brahmin left that gold in the clerk's house. Then that best of brahmins went to Varanasi to bathe, O Goddess.
Classical view, not medical advice.
शरीरं त्यक्तवाँस्तत्र ब्रह्मचारी द्विजस्तदा ॥
There that brahmin, a celibate student, left his body. After much time, the scribe became poor.
तद्धनं ब्राह्मणस्यैव भुक्तं तेन वरानने ॥
O fair-faced one, he used up that brahmin's wealth. The clerk and his wife became a morsel for the snake of Time.
अयोध्यायामभूद्देवि तयोः स्वर्गो ह्यजायत ॥
This happened in Ayodhya, O Goddess, and they went to heaven. They lived ninety thousand years in the world of Brahma, O fair-faced one.
