Chapter 83 · A Garland-Maker of Ayodhya
पूर्वाषाढा नक्षत्र चतुर्थ चरण
तस्य मित्रं द्विजोऽप्येकः स्वर्णे लक्षद्वयं तथा ॥स्थापितं स्वगृहे तस्य गताश्च बहुवासराः ॥ ३ ॥
A brahmin was his friend. He kept two lakh (100,000) in gold in the garland-maker's house. Many days went by.
Classical view, not medical advice.
याचितं तेन स्वं द्रव्यमर्धं प्राप्तं तदा प्रिये ॥
The brahmin asked for his money. Then he got only half back, dear one. The other half had been spent in the garland-maker's house.
एवं बहुगते काले मालाकारो मृतः पुरा ॥
Much time passed. The garland-maker died in Ayodhya, in that earlier life. Heaven was his, they say.
लक्षवर्षं वरारोहे भुक्तं स्वर्गफलं शुभम् ॥
For a lakh (100,000) of years, O Goddess, he enjoyed the good fruit of heaven. When his merit was used up, he was born a human again.
