No woman is ever faithful to one man alone. As for that girl of yours, she told you she should like to dance, and having first blindfolded you as you played the lute to her, she let her paramour strike you on the head, and then smuggled him out of the house. Where then is your exception 1" And so saying, the king repeated this stanza : — Blindfold, a-luting, by his wife beguiled. The brahmin sits, — who tried to rear A paragon of virtue undefiled I Learn hence to hold the sex in fear. [294] In ...such wise did the Bodhisatta expound the Truth to the bralnnin. And the brahmin went home and taxed the girl with the wickedness of which she was acciised. "My dear husband, who can have said such a thing about mel" said she. "Indeed I am innocent; indeed it was my own hand, and nobody else's, that struck you ; and, if you do not believe me, I will brave the ordeal of fire to prove that no man's hand has touched me but yours; and so I will make you believe me. " "So be it, " said the brahmin.
