ENGLISH TRANSLATION
41.A women who, although she has performed many pious deeds, nevertheless speaks harshly to her husband, looses the piety earned in a hundred births. 42.After giving away his daughter and speaking instructions to her, Aurva Muni left. In his own äçrama Durväsä Muni happily stayed with his bride. 43.As soon as he desired to enjoy with a wife, a wife came to Durväsä. Simply by desiring, a saintly person attains his wish. 44.After making a comfortable bed, at an auspicious moment the noble-hearted sage slept with his dear wife. 45.Although from birth he knew nothing of the science of enjoying with women, in a moment he became learned in the Käma- çästra and very expert in the art of sex. He expertly enjoyed sex in many different ways. 46.Embracing her husband, Kandali was overwhelmed with pleasure. The great sage was also overwhelmed with pleasure. He did not know whether it was day or night. 47.Durväsä became like an unhappy man experiencing his first taste of happiness. He was filled with desire. Every day he enjoyed sex with his wife. He and she became expert in the art of sex. 48.The sage abandoned his austerities and became attached to household life. Every day Kandali quarreled with her husband. 49.The great sage tried to explain to his wife how she should act. She did not understand anything. She wanted only to quarrel. 50.Her father's words of instruction did not pacify her. It is very difficult to change one's nature. Words alone will not do it.
