There lived on the other side of the sea a Vaishya who rolled in wealth and corn. He performed yajnas, made liberal gifts, was quiet, observant of the duties of his own order and pure in habits and mind.
वैश्यः किल समुद्रान्ते प्रभूतधनधान्यवान्॥ यज्वा दानपति: क्षान्तः स्फकर्मस्थोऽभवच्छुचिः। बहुपुत्रः प्रियापत्यः सर्वभूतानुकम्पकः॥ राज्ञो धर्मप्रधानस्य राष्ट्रे वसति निर्भयः।
