BahUhi vata cariyAhi : She attracts a husband by many sorts of behaviour; by holding in her figure with corsets and stay of cow-bone. She carefully must tend to the fire, sweep out with water but in this world a life of a widow is terrible. I will go, great monarch. AppissA hoti appatto : A man can take her by the hand and take her around against her will, although he may not eat her leavings. But in this world a life of a widow is terrible. I will go, great monarch. KesA gahaBa mukkhepA : He can pull her by the hair or drag her on the ground. He may do much harm to her without lamenting. But in this world a life of a widow is so terrible. I will go, great monarch. SukkacchavI vedhaverA : A man pulls about the widow’s sons cruelly with blows and foul language though they are fair and proud of winning charm, as crows would peck an owl. For in this world a life of a widow is so terrible. I will go, great monarch.” Api GAtikule phite : “If she lives with wealthy relations, rich in bronze, she is free of abusing from her brothers and from the other women of her family. For in this world a life of a widow is so terrible. I will go, great monarch. NaggA nadI anUdakA : A waterless river is bare; a kingdom without a king is not safe; Even if a widow has ten brothers, life is useless without a husband. For in this world a life of a widow is so terrible. I will go, great monarch. Dhajo rathassa paGGABaM : A banner is the mark of chariot; smoke is a mark of fire; a king is for the kingdom; a husband is meant for his wife. For in this world a life of a widow is so terrible.

SA mikam anubandhissaM : I am always following my husband to put on the yellow robes. Without Vessantara, my husband, I 256

Api sAgara pariyantaM : Without Vessantara, I would not consider even the great earth full of wealth and all kind of gems bounded by the ocean. KathaM nu tAsaM hadayaM : What kinds of heart have they, those women who only seek for their own comfort while their husbands are in woe? 161 Nikkhante mahArAje : I am following him at his departure, the great king, the bringer of the prosperity of the kingdom of the Sivi, because he is able to give me all joy and content. Tamabravi mahArAjA maddim sabbamgasobhanaM ime te darahA puttA : Then the great king told the beauteous MaddI, “The beauteous lady, when you go, leave us these two children, JAli and KaBhAjinA for they can do nothing in the forest. We will keep and look after them well.” Tamabravi rAjaputtI : Then the beauteous MaddI replied to the king, “My children JAli and KaBhAjinA are dearest to my heart, if they are in the forest, they will bring joy to our miserable life.” Tamabravi maharaja : The great king, the bringer of the prosperity of the Sivi kingdom replied, “The children used to take fine rice and rich well-cooked meat. What will the children do if they feed on wild-tree fruit? The children used to eat from the 162 well adorned golden silver dishes. And what will the children do if they have to eat with the bare leaves?
