“Tamil:
““When the goddess of prosperity finds that her favours are not appreciated, she introduces her elder sister, the goddess of adversity, to the sluggard, and then takes her departure.”
“,”English Translation:
The goddess of fortune, whose presence is a guarantee for happiness and prosperity, is said to dwell in the face of a horse of superior caste,-with the wise and good,-in all fragrant flowers,-in the tree of paradise that bestows whatever it’s votaries may desire,-in the beauty of a good and obedient wife,-in the ocean,-in the portal of a house when a marriage is being celebrated,-in a well governed country,-in grain,-in brilliant lamps and flaming torches,-in the words of the great,-with truth-speaking men,-in the arrows of Cupid,-and in vessels of milk.The goddess of misfortune is said to have her habitation with the glutton,-the irascible,-with liars and other abandoned characters,-with those clothed in rags,—with vicious women,-in a flock of sheep, and in the face of the dead.”,
