Rh old man knew that in leaving the property to Bhramar it remained yours. He also knew that in the course of a month Bhramar would make it over to you in writing. But, seeing that you are at present pursuing evil paths, to purify your character he left you bound to Bhramar. You, not comprehending all that, are angry with Bhramar."

Kumati.  "That is true. Do you think I am going to live on a monthly allowance from my wife?"

Sumati.  "It is your property. Why don't you take the deed of gift from Bhramar?"

Kumati.  "Shall I live in dependence on my wife?"

Sumati.  "Good gracious! what a lion of a fellow! Then go to law with your wife and get a decree; 'tis your ancestral property."

Kumati.  "Go to law with my wife!"

Sumati.  "Then what will you do? Go to destruction?"

Kumati.  "That is what I am striving to do."

Sumati.  "Rohini—will she go with you?"

Then Kumati and Sumati began a terrible wrangle.
