Note 45 — Chapter XXII · MATILALL IN BUSINESS.
G. D. (George Devereux) Oswell translation
The reference is to an old story about a joint-family: there were four sons-in-law in the family of whom Dhananjayas was one. Efforts were constantly made to annoy them to get them to leave, and three went because their feelings were offended. Dhananjayas would not go until he was actually beaten.
