They went home. O dear, Arundhatī was displeased with fire. O dear, the husbands on seeing the plight of their wives became furious. They consulted one another and discarded them. O dear, on seeing their own state the six ladies felt very miserable and distressed. [...]”.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences.
