एवं वसन् गृहे कालं विरक्तो न्यासमास्थित: । वनं जगामानुययुस्तत्पत्न्य: पतिदेवता: ॥ ५३ ॥

ដូច្នេះគាត់បានរស់នៅក្នុងកិច្ចការគ្រួសារមួយរយៈ បន្ទាប់មកក៏ក្លាយជាអ្នកមិនជាប់ចិត្តនឹងសុខភោគ។ ដើម្បីបោះបង់សមាគមវត្ថុ គាត់ទទួលអាស្រមវានប្រស្ថ ហើយទៅព្រៃ។ ភរិយាដែលគោរពប្តីជាទេវតា ក៏តាមគាត់ទៅ ព្រោះក្រៅពីប្តី ពួកនាងគ្មានទីពឹងផ្សេងទៀត។
