Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

In this way the presiding deities of the five family sacrifices became angry at the merchant who, being niggardly, guarded his wealth like a Yakṣa, who had no good destination either in this world or the next, and who was totally deprived of religiosity and sense enjoyment. He protected his wealth as if it belonged to a Yakṣa. Paṣca-bhāginaḥ means the deities of the five sacrifices (deva-yajṣā, brahma-yajṣa, pita-yajṣa, bhūta-yajṣa, and nṛ-yajṣa).
