At this even the courage the pandit had sank away. Sorrowful and terribly humiliated, he tucked the book under his arm, went home, put the Gītā down somewhere and collapsed onto his cot. Seeing this, his wife showered him with questions of every kind: “What is it? Why have you come home so sorrowful today? What happened?” The pandit told her of the humiliation he had suffered and of the answers the king had demanded. His good wife heard it all, thought it over carefully, and said to him, “It is true! The answer you gave is not right. How could the king accept it? The fault is yours.” At that the pandit sprang up from his cot like a snake whose tail has been trodden on and roared, “What do you know? Do you mean the meaning known to a woman who cooks meals at home is something I did not know? Shut your mouth and go!” But his good wife did not take fright. “My lord! If I tell you the truth, why be so angry? Recite that śloka yourself once more and see. Think it over carefully and learn its meaning, and the truth will become clear to you.” So she spoke to him gently, calming his mind.
19ఈ పవిత్రపదముపై లోకమున, అనేక విధముల హాస్యాస్పద ప్రచారములు జరుగుచున్నవి.20దీనితో పండితునకు ఉన్న ధైర్యము కూడా క్రిందికి దిగజారి విచారముతో, ఘోరమైన అవమానముతో, గ్రంథము చంకన పెట్టి ఇల్లు చేరి గీతా గ్రంథమును ఒక చోటుంచి, మంచముపై కూలెను.21తిరిగి ఆ పండితుడు “అనన్యాశ్చింతయంతో మాం,” అని ప్రారంభించి, ఒక్కొక్క పదమునకూ విడివిడిగా అర్థము చెప్పుచూ వచ్చెను.22చూచితిరా!19 to 22
