Translation

Traducción

Jyāmagha had no sons, but because he was fearful of his wife, Śaibyā, he could not accept another wife. Jyāmagha once took from the house of some royal enemy a girl who was a prostitute, but upon seeing her Śaibyā was very angry and said to her husband, “My husband, you cheater, who is this girl sitting upon my seat on the chariot?” Jyāmagha then replied, “This girl will be your daughter-in-law.” Upon hearing these joking words, Śaibyā smilingly replied.

Jyāmagha no tenía hijos, pero, por temor a su esposa, Śaibyā, no podía aceptar una segunda esposa. En cierta ocasión, Jyāmagha se trajo con él a una prostituta conquistada a un rey enemigo. Śaibyā, al ver a la muchacha, se puso muy furiosa y dijo a su marido: «Marido mío, embustero, ¿quién es esa muchacha que ocupa mi asiento en la cuadriga?». Jyāmagha contestó: «Es tu futura nuera». Al escuchar aquella jocosa respuesta, Śaibyā respondió, sonriente.
