One day Marubhuti said to his wife—“I have to visit some other city to perform some ritual. I will be out for five days."
He went out of the city and disguised himself as a monk. In the evening he came to Kamath's house and called—“In course of my pilgrimage I have arrived here. I need a place for my overnight stay."
Kamath—"Monk! You may spend the night in the courtyard."
Marubhuti stayed in the courtyard. Knowing that her husband was away, Vasundhara and Kamath openly engaged in lustful activities.
Marubhuti stealthily witnessed everything. He closed his eyes in disgust. He thought-'Whom to complain when sin is fostered in my own house ?'
In the end when he could not contain himself, he approached the king and said—“My elder brother, whom I respected like my father, is involved in such sinful acts. Please put an end to this sinful activity."
