Adhyaya 70 — The King Confronts the Rakshasa and Restores the Brahmin’s Wife
दौःशील्येनातिरौद्रेण पत्नी तस्य द्विजन्मनः ।
तेन सा संपरित्यक्ता तमाह जगतीपतिम् ॥
dauḥśīlyenātiraudreṇa patnī tasya dvijanmanaḥ |

«وبسبب سوء سلوكها الشديد القسوة، هجرها ذلك الرجلُ الثنائيُّ الميلاد (dvija) زوجتَه؛ فلمّا طُرِدتْ تكلّمت إلى سيّد الأرض، أي الملك.»

Actions in domestic life carry heavy social consequences; the verse depicts abandonment as a response to sustained harmful conduct, and shows recourse to royal authority when household order breaks.
Dharma-oriented narrative illustration (upākhyāna).
Abandonment can symbolize the soul’s separation from harmony when dominated by raudra (violent) tendencies; appeal to the king symbolizes seeking higher discernment to arbitrate inner conflict.
