This translation is not accurate if.for your sake' means in your interest'. In the context, tvatkrte is better rendered when this is done by you (i.e. when you have given birth to sons)' or on your account '.
The book is no doubt a welcome contribution to the understanding of the development of the notion of dharma so far as it relates to sexual ethics. As such it deserves a careful study. It is hoped that the author will continue to work in this field and study a larger number of the epic narratives.
