Translation

Traducción

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.

Kaśyapa Muni, a pesar de ser un gran erudito, quedó cautivado por los artificios de Diti, y quedó bajo su control. Así pues, un día aseguró a su esposa que satisfaría sus deseos. Esa promesa, en labios de un esposo, no es sorprendente.
