करटकः पृच्छति -- कथम् एतत् । दमनकः कथयति --
कथा ६
अस्ति द्वारवत्यां पुर्यां कस्यचिद्गोपस्य वधूर्बन्धकी । सा ग्रामस्य दण्डनायकेन
तत्पुत्रेण च समं रमते । तथा चोक्तम् --
नाग्निस्तृप्यति काष्ठानां नापगानां महोदधिः ।
नान्तकः सर्वभूतानां न पुंसां वामलोचना ॥
Karataka asked how it was. Damanaka related - The wife of a certain cowherd who lived in Dvaraka was of a bad character. She had an intrigue with the magistrate of the place, as also with his son. For it is said - Fire is not satisfied with fuel, the ocean with rivers, the god of death with all creatures and a beautiful woman with men.
