Chapter 99 · A Merchant's Unpaid Loan
शतभिषा नक्षत्र चतुर्थ चरण
तस्य स्त्री पार्वती नाम रूपयौवनसंयुता ॥वैश्यश्चैव महादेवि प्रौढिं यातः सुरेश्वरि ॥ ३ ॥
His wife was named Parvati, full of beauty and youth. The merchant, O great Goddess, reached middle age, O queen of the gods.
Classical view, not medical advice.
दरिद्रत्वं भवेद्देवि दरिद्रत्वात्सुपीडितः ॥
Poverty came, O Goddess, and he was badly troubled by it. He took a loan of a hundred and five from a brahmin, O queen of the gods.
व्यापारार्थं विशालाक्षि न दत्तं ब्राह्मणाय वै ॥
For trade, O large-eyed one, it was not repaid to the brahmin. After a long time passed, he had used it all.
वैश्यस्यैव भवेन्मृत्युः सभार्यस्य वरानने ॥
The merchant died, together with his wife, O fair-faced one. At Mathura he gained a fine, good heaven.
