________________ PHILOSOPHY OF SOUL 323 is the younger brother of my husband so he is my brother-in-law. (4) He is my brother's son so he is my nephew. (5) He is the brother of my mother's husband so he is my uncle. (6) He is the son of my husband's co-wife's son's son so he is my grandson. Moreover she added, "Look to my relation with the father of this boy: (7) The father of this boy and I were born out of the same womb so he is my brother. (8) He is my mother's husband he is my father. (9) He has become the father of my uncle so he is my grandfather. (10) He is married to me, so he is my husband. (11) He is also the son of my husband's co-wife, so he is my son. (12) He is the father of my husband's brother so he is my fatherin-law. Now listen to my relation with the mother of this boy. (13) The mother of this boy has given me birth and so she is my mother. (14) She is the mother of my uncle so she is my grandmother. (15) She is my brother's wife so she is my sister-in-law. (16) She is the wife of the son of my husband's co-wife. (17) She is the mother of my husband, so she is my mother-in-law. (18) She is my husband's other wife. Thus Kuberdattā narrated 18 forms of relationship. Kuberdatta was deeply aggrieved to learn them and he got aversion for the worldly life. Kubersenā standing at a distance overheard everything and so she also deeply repented. As a consequence he accepted monkish order of life at the hands of a monk observing five great vows. Kubersenā accepted vows of a householder at the hands of Kuberdattā. Thus the nun Kuberdattā having enlightened her brother and mother left for other places wandering from village to village and achieving spiritual welfare. Right forms of instrument are as follows: (1) Bandhana. (2) Nidhatta. Nikachana. (4) Udvartana. (5) Apavartana. Samkramana. (7) Udirana. (8) Upashamana.
