The source text describes a stingy banker who collected money for a temple renovation. What happened with the funds he collected, and what was his attitude towards spending his own money?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 47

The banker, described as the 'embodiment of stinginess,' collected subscription money from the townspeople for the renovation of the Mahadeva temple. However, as Chapter 47 explains, he sat quietly on the funds, and no use was made of them, causing the work to stall. His personal attitude was to hoard wealth and never spend it. When his wife had a vision instructing her to build a dome on the temple, the thought of spending money was 'extremely disturbing' to him. He was so miserly that he would not take out even a single penny from his own pocket for the cause, demonstrating that his sole focus was on accumulating wealth, not on community or religious duty.
