Chapter 76 · A Clerk and a Brahmin's Gold
मूल नक्षत्र प्रथम चरण
शरीरं त्यक्तवाँस्तत्र ब्रह्मचारी द्विजस्तदा ॥ततो बहुगते काले कायस्थस्य दरिद्रता ॥ ६ ॥
There that brahmin, a celibate student, left his body. After much time, the scribe became poor.
Classical view, not medical advice.
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.
भुक्तं सौख्यमनेकं तु देवानामपि दुर्लभम् ॥
They enjoyed much happiness, hard even for gods to get. Then their merit ran out, and they came to the world of mortals, O Goddess.
