Hitopdesh • Chapter 5 • Shloka 7
यद्भविष्यः पृच्छति -- कथमेतत् ।
प्रत्युत्पन्नमतिराह --
॥ कथा ३ ॥
अस्ति विक्रमपुरे समुद्रदत्तो नाम वणिक् । तस्य
रत्नप्रभा नाम वधूः केनापि स्वसेवकेन सह सदा रमते । यतः ।
न स्त्रीणामप्रियः कश्चित् प्रियो वापि न विद्यते ।
गावस्तृणमिवारण्ये प्रार्थयन्ति नवं नवम् ॥
Yadbhavishya asked how it was. Pratyutpannamati related - There was in Vikramapura a merchant, Samudradatta by name. His wife, named Ratnaprabha, always sported with one of her servants. For, there is no one who is disagreeable to women, nor one who is beloved by them; but they ever long for a new one, like Cows seeking fresh grass in a forest.
