ततः स्वाहा च भार्यास्य बुबुधे तद्विचेष्टितम् । ज्ञात्वा च चिंतयामास प्रहृष्टा मनसि स्वयम्
tataḥ svāhā ca bhāryāsya bubudhe tadviceṣṭitam | jñātvā ca ciṃtayāmāsa prahṛṣṭā manasi svayam
Then Svāhā, his wife, understood his behavior. Knowing it, she reflected within herself—secretly delighted in her mind.
Narrator

Hidden intentions and inner states shape outcomes; the Purāṇic narrative shows how desire can be redirected through cunning rather than dharmic correction.
