in amorous plays with her lover. They remain absorbed in exchange of love and sexual enjoyments for hours. Then they were tired and went to bed, I Came out and killed instantly her lover who was asleep. My wife was so much in sound sleep that she did not know this.
In the morning she found herl over dead. She began to weep. But soon she thought of something and so she dug a pit and buried the dead body there. She ereuted a platform of bricks and stones etc. over it. After seeing all these things I went back to the garden and told everything to the prostitute.
“You have saved me, really. I don't know how many more years I would have been trapped in her false love. Now I am not going to stay with her.”
I went back to Rajagrauh along with her, and began to stay with her only.
