पृष्ठभागोऽयं यन्त्रेण केनचित् काले काले मार्जयित्वा यथास्रोतः परिवर्तयिष्यते। तेन मा भूदत्र शोधनसम्भ्रमः। सज्जनैः मूलमेव शोध्यताम्।

DHANAVARDHANA : A virtuous Vaiśya who lived in the island of Puṣkara in the Kṛtayuga. Once Dhana- vardhana after having performed Vaiśvadeva sat for his food. At that time he heard a cry from outside “Annaṁ dehi (give me food)”. Dhanavardhana imme- diately came out to see who the visitor was but seeing none went in and started taking his food. Because he ate his food once left aside, his body was torn to hundred pieces. (Bhaviṣya, Brahma Kāṇḍa).
