Note 12 — Chapter XIII
C. H. (Charles Henry) Tawney translation
“Thus, O queen, women of good family ever worship their husbands with chaste and resolute behaviour,12 and never think of any other man, for to virtuous wives the husband is the highest deity.” When Vásavadattá on the journey heard this noble story from the mouth of Vasantaka, she got over the feeling of shame at having recently left her father’s house, and her mind, which was previously attached by strong affection to her husband, became so fixed upon him as to be entirely devoted to his service.
