Sautir uvāca: evaṁ te samayaṁ kṛtvā dāsī-bhāvāya vai mithaḥ | jagmatuḥ sva-gṛhān eva śvo drakṣyāva iti saṁmataḥ ||

సౌతి పలికెను—ఈ విధంగా వారు పరస్పరం దాసీభావమును పణంగా నిర్ణయించుకొని, తమ తమ గృహములకు వెళ్లిరి. “రేపు వచ్చి అశ్వమును చూద్దాము” అని వారు ఒప్పుకొనిరి.

Educational Q&A

A voluntarily accepted pact (samaya) can become morally weighty and socially binding; when rivalry drives one into wagers about honor and status, the consequences may be disproportionate and enduring, illustrating the need for restraint and foresight in making agreements.

Two sisters make a mutual wager with the condition that the loser will become the other’s maidservant. After fixing this agreement, they return to their homes and decide to come the next day to see the horse, setting up the conflict that follows.
