[481]
"Do you hear, Sīvalī, the verses declared by the arrow-maker?
A menial has rebuked me — such indeed is the lot that comes of a second [companion].
This, good lady, is a path forked in two, well trodden by wayfarers;
of these, take you the one, and I for my part the other.
Never again are you to say of me, 'my husband,' nor shall I again say of you, '(my) wife';
the reed has been drawn out from the muñja grass — dwell alone, Sīvalī."
The Mahājanaka Jātaka, the second, is ended.
