प्राकृत-सूक्तरतमाला ।
Good men avoid another's wife like a crumb spit out of the month and dung while the despicable and licentious persons have intercourse like a dog.
७४
बहुसो चिंतिज्जंतं आवइ - पडिआण कुल-प्पसूआणं । मरणं विणा ण सरणं रमणीणं रमण-विरहेणं ॥ १५६ ॥
बहुशश्चिन्त्यमानमापत्पतितानां कुलप्रसूतानाम् । मरणं विना न शरणं रमणीनां रमणविरहेण ॥ १५६ ॥
To ladies of high descent, when their honour is in danger in the absence of their husbands, there is no other refuge than death, however much they may think (over the matter to find out means of escape from the peril ).
