TRANSLATION
Jyamagha had no sons, but because he was fearful of his wife, Saibya, he could not accept another wife. Jyamagha once took from the house of some royal enemy a girl who was a prostitute, but upon seeing her Saibya was very angry and said to her husband, My husband, you cheater, who is this girl sitting upon my seat on the chariot? Jyamagha then replied, This girl will be your daughter-in-law. Upon hearing these joking words, Saibya smilingly replied.
