Fie on your intellect. Fie on your beauty and conduct. Fie on your adviser (upadeśakarttṛ). Fie on your maids too. Fie on us who brought you thus to the world, O daughter. O Nārada, fie on your intelligence and fie on those seven sages who gave us wrong advice. Fie on the whole family. Fie on the efficiency in performing the rites. Fie on everything done by you. You have inflamed this household. Almost it has been a death blow to me. [...]”.
