Who was Ratanji and what was the source of his constant unhappiness despite his wealth?

Ratanji was a famous, religious, and very wealthy Parsi merchant from the Nizam's state. As detailed in Chapter 14, he possessed vast property, carriages, and farms, and was known for his generosity. However, he was tormented by an inner worry because he had no son. The text explains that he had twelve daughters one after another, and this lack of a male heir made him feel that his immense wealth and worldly happiness were entirely fruitless. This constant contemplation left his mind without peace.
