Verse 21

¹⁸Fair-thighed one, the Cedi and Salva, Jarasandha, Dantavakra and the rest of the kings hate me, and so does Rukmi, your elder brother. ¹⁹It was to knock the conceit out of those men, blind with the pride of their strength and swollen with it, that I brought you here, good woman, to take the fire out of bad men. ²⁰We are indifferent, truly. We do not hanker after a wife or children or wealth. We are full because we have ourselves, and we sit as a light sits in two houses, doing nothing. ²¹Having said that much, the Bhagavan stopped, to break the pride of her who had been thinking herself his darling, because he never went away from her.
