But Kamath failed to improve himself. One day he started drinking at home and got intoxicated. Like mad he entered the room of his younger brother's wife Vasundhara. "Vasundhara! See, what I have brought for you", he put a gold necklace on her neck and grabbed her hand."
Vasundhara was stunned-"Brother-in-law ! This is a sin you are committing. I am the wife of your younger brother. I am like your daughter."
Intoxicated Kamath said "O beautiful one! Your husband is impotent. That is why he always remains in the temple. Come, enjoy pleasures of life with me." And he also put a gold bracelet on her wrist.
Vasundhara yielded to the temptation. Now Kamath boldly indulged in the sinful
activity.
When Kamath's wife saw all this she scolded Vasundhara-"O wretched sinner! You indulge in the sinful act of adultery with father-like elder brother-in-law. May your body be infested with worms."
