Chapter 88 · A Brahmin Who Kept a Friend's Wealth
श्रवण नक्षत्र प्रथम चरण
अब्दे चैके ततो जाते पुनः काश्यां गतोऽपि सः ॥स्वर्णरत्नं महादेवि गौतमाय समर्पितम् ॥ ४ ॥
After one year he set out again for Kashi. He handed gold and jewels to Gautama, O great Goddess.
Classical view, not medical advice.
रक्षार्थं तेन द्रव्यं च गृहीतं गौतमेन च ॥
Gautama took the wealth for safekeeping. The ascetic went to Varanasi and gave up his life.
गौतमेन तु स्वद्रव्यं स्थापितं भूमिमध्यके ॥
Gautama buried his own wealth in the ground. But that brahmin's wealth he sold,
भक्षितं तेन विक्रीय बहुवर्षे गते शिवे ॥
and he used it up with his sons and wife, dear one. Many years passed. Then Gautama died, when he was old, O fair-faced one.
