His wife was Sudehā, devoted to the religion of Śiva, always intent on serving her husband and skilled in household work. — Holding this in mind, he did not then grieve; but Sudehā grieved over (the lack of) the birth of a son. Sūta said: Rebuked by those (women) in this way, she came home distressed and respectfully told her husband all that had been said. Seeing that, the man let out a sigh, and remembering the lotus feet of Śiva he said to his own wife— ("I shall not compete with my sister, O best of brahmins; marry her for the sake of a son — this I direct.") Thus entreated by that wife of his, the brahmin Sudharmā married that Ghuśmā by the rite of marriage. But Sudehā then set up a fierce rivalry with her; her heart, at first cool, again became like a sword.
