ज्ञात्वा विप्रसतीशापं तत्पत्नी रतिलालसम् । पतिं निवारयामास वैधव्यातिबिभ्यती
jñātvā viprasatīśāpaṃ tatpatnī ratilālasam | patiṃ nivārayāmāsa vaidhavyātibibhyatī
அந்தணர் மனைவியின் சாபத்தை அறிந்த ராணி, இன்பத்தில் விருப்பம் கொண்ட தன் கணவனை, விதவைக்கோலம் பூண நேரிடுமே என்ற பயத்தால் தடுத்தாள்.

Scene: In the palace, the queen anxiously restrains the king who is eager for pleasure, reminding him of the brāhmaṇa-wife’s curse; her posture is protective, his is restless.
Desire must be governed by dharma and prudence; one person’s past wrongdoing can endanger the wellbeing of the entire household.
