When the cat ate the meat, the husband and the elder brother were present at the time of the meal, and when no other meat was available, she, out of fear, took the pieces of meat that were discarded in the diarrhea, washed them with water, and cooked them with spices, etc., and served them to both of them when the time for the meal came. At that time, Gunamitra, the son of the deceased wife, held the hands of his father and father-in-law and stopped them from eating, telling them the whole story.
