And raised slogans in every domain in her appreciation, hearing which Lord Indra was appeased too.( 48)
Taking the example of the fish and water,
It is said that the wife, a fish, after relinquishing husband, the water, soon parishes.(49)
The co-wife did not fear the celestial wrath,
And, getting angry, had got her husband killed with an arrow.(50)

The co-wife was distressed and had gotten her husband killed with an arrow, declaring,
‘I am better of a widow than a married woman like that; at least I could get up and prey the Almighty everyday.(51)(l).

‘The co-wife of Shashi, who had killed her own husband with an arrow, has been killed.’(1)

‘Through infliction this woman has assassinated her husband,
‘By some means, now, she should be terminated.’(2)

In the same domain, lived a prostitute named Urvassi, who used to dance in the house of Kaal, the god of death.
In the Council, she took the responsibility of this cause by disguising herself as a man.(3)
‘It is difficult to kill a person who lives serenely in the world.
‘But the one who is over cunning, his life is just a toy in the hands of an assassinator.’( 4)
Contemplating like that the woman came out of the house,
And bought a black horse spending ten thousand coins.
When that horse galloped, even the Lord Indra’s horse felt meek.(5)
She dressed herself in beautiful clothes and was adorned with ornaments.
Her long hair flared over her shoulders sprinkling perfumes all over.(6)
With eye-lashing powder in her eyes, her embellishment stole many a hearts.
In her snaky strands of hair many a humans, gods and devil got entangled.(7)
