6. Having seen his back, she knew that there are seeds and sap of cucumber. It was told also for the husband, “Oh master! being seized with fear it has been known in this manner by you. “It is not true that I have been struck by somebody and in this way as a result blood has come out and there insects have grown also. You have been struck by cucumber and its sap and seeds were attached on the back.” Having brought water she came for washing his body. Then having done cleaning of the body of her husband, she gave only those clothes in present which were looted by her. Having seen those clothes, he says with brashness, yes, yes you were known (by me) even at that time. It was thought by me - What my wife will do? So like the fact of seizing with fear, I stayed there and all lootedness was neglected. Otherwise what strength a woman possesses before me? She said, “Oh master ! your strength was understood by me even at that time. You are only brave at home. So having taken the case in midnight, coming (from the) shop should never be made by you from today. In this way he accepted wife's words.
