Translation

Překlad

Although Kaśyapa Muni was a learned scholar, he was captivated by Diti’s artificial behavior, which brought him under her control. Therefore he assured his wife that he would fulfill her desires. Such a promise by a husband is not at all astonishing.

Ačkoliv byl Kaśyapa Muni velký učenec, okouzlilo ho Ditino strojené chování, kterým si ho podmanila. Ujistil proto svou manželku, že splní její přání. Takový manželův slib není vůbec udivující.
