Who is this girl, so fickle-minded, seated here in the chariot?
असावप्यनालोचितोत्तरवचनोतिभयात्तामाह स्नुषा ममेयमिति ॥ ४,१२.
Out of fear of being questioned further and without considering his reply, he said to her, 'She is my daughter-in-law.'
अथैनं शैव्योवाच ॥ ४,१२.
Then Shaivya said to him:
नाहं प्रसूता पुत्रेण नान्या पत्न्यभवत्तव । स्नुषासंबन्धता ह्योषा कतमेन सुतेन ते ॥ ४,१२.
I have not borne a son for you, nor have you had another wife; so by which son of yours does this woman have the relation of daughter-in-law?
